Enforcement Directorate Seeks FIR Over Punjab Cricket Association Land Deal Discrepancies
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has urged Punjab Police to register an FIR over alleged inflated land prices paid by the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) for acquiring land in Amritsar and Bathinda. Investigations reveal that land purchased by developers at significantly lower rates was sold to the PCA within months at sharply higher prices, raising concerns of criminal conspiracy and cheating. The ED's probe highlights discrepancies between government collector rates and transaction prices, prompting calls for further investigation.
