26 Booked in Pune for ₹33-Crore Sale of Restricted Animal Husbandry Land

A suspended sub-registrar faces scrutiny over the registration of a non-transferable Tathawade plot.

Overview

  • Pimpri-Chinchwad police filed a cheating and forgery FIR naming 26 accused, including Joint Sub-Registrar Vidya Shankar Bade-Sangle and buyers Kapil Chhotam Fakir and Sayyed Faiyyaz Meer Azimuddin.
  • Investigators say the 15-acre plot’s 7/12 record shows Animal Husbandry Department possession with a prohibition on sale without government permission.
  • The deed was registered on January 9, 2025, at Haveli-17 in Dapodi by Bade-Sangle, who the Inspector General of Registration has suspended after an inquiry found she bypassed software checks.
  • The Animal Husbandry Department discovered the transfer during an inspection and has asked the IGR to cancel the transaction.
  • Senior Police Inspector Mahadev Koli is leading the probe, and police plan to search the Haveli-17 sub-registrar office when government offices reopen.
