PM Modi's Schoolmate Secures Relief in Maharashtra Land Dispute After Meeting
Asgar Ali Vora, an 81-year-old who claims to be Prime Minister Narendra Modi's schoolmate, received relief in a 15-year land dispute in Maharashtra's Bhayander after meeting Modi on September 8. BJP MLA Narendra Mehta's linked firm, Seven Eleven Constructions, surrendered construction permission and relinquished possession of the disputed 2,810-square-metre plot. Mehta also withdrew a police complaint against Vora. The dispute involved alleged encroachment and forged documents, with government officials convening a meeting to resolve the matter following Modi's intervention.
