Overview

  • The FIR registered at Tejaji Nagar police station accuses Bharat Patwari, Nana Patwari and Sadashiv Yadav of fraudulent takeover of a 6.5-acre plot in Umri Khedi following Narendra Mehta’s complaint.
  • Police have filed charges under sections 318, 336, 337 and 338 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and say investigators will soon arrest the named individuals.
  • Congress leaders claim the land remains government property transferred for a Gwala colony in 1994 and assert Jitu Patwari’s brothers have no involvement in its development.
  • Jitu Patwari has characterized the FIR as an act of harassment and vowed to challenge the case in court to prove his family’s innocence.
  • The disputed site is intended by a Yadav community trust for a Krishna temple and cowshed, while Mehta maintains his father purchased it from a royal family descendant in 1950.
