81-Year-Old Schoolmate Seeks PM Modi's Help in Decades-Old Maharashtra Land Dispute
An 81-year-old Mira Road resident, Asgarali Vohra, who studied with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has sought the PM's intervention and a CBI probe into a decades-old land dispute in Bhayander East, Maharashtra. Vohra alleges that builders linked to BJP MLA Narendra Mehta encroached on his 1989-purchased land using forged documents. An FIR was registered in 2015, and the case remains pending. Following Vohra's meeting with Modi, local authorities scheduled a hearing for September 16 to address the matter.
