Former Schoolmate Seeks PM Modi's Help in Decades-Old Maharashtra Land Dispute
Asgarali Vohra, an 81-year-old former schoolmate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, met him on September 8 seeking intervention and a CBI probe into a decades-old land dispute in Mira-Bhayandar, Maharashtra. Vohra alleges that builders linked to BJP MLA Narendra Mehta used forged documents to encroach on his 2,810-square-metre property purchased in 1989. An FIR was filed in 2015, and the case remains pending. Following the meeting, local authorities scheduled a hearing for September 16 and have taken note of the matter.
