A Pune court has rejected the bail plea of a suspended deputy sub-registrar accused in a land scam. The registrar allegedly facilitated the illegal sale of nearly 40 acres of government land in Mundhwa by registering documents on low-value stamp paper, causing losses of crores to the state exchequer. The court cited the preliminary stage of investigation, potential tampering with evidence, and the need to verify involvement in similar offenses as reasons for denial.
