Bombay High Court Questions Exclusion of Parth Pawar in Pune Land Deal Case
The Bombay High Court has directed Maharashtra's Director General of Police to explain why Parth Pawar, son of Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar and a director of Amadea Enterprises LLP, was not named an accused in the Mundhwa land deal case. The case involves the purchase of 40 acres of government land in Pune at a significantly undervalued price. Pune tehsildar Suryakant Yewale, accused of facilitating the transaction, has sought anticipatory bail, which the court is considering amid allegations of selective investigation. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 28.
