Overview

• The EOW summoned Javed Rasul Shaikh to submit income-tax returns and explain his entitlement to a three-acre parcel valued at around Rs 150 crore.
• The contested hibanama deed was executed in early 2023 by Mir Mazhar Ali Khan and six other Salar Jung descendants after they secured a share of the erstwhile 12-acre estate.
• Members of the Salar Jung family who signed the gift deed have not complied with summons to record statements in the ongoing investigation.
• Shiv Sena MP Sandipanrao Bhumre and his son Vilas Bhumre have been questioned by investigators and deny any involvement in arranging the land transfer.
• Authorities are evaluating the deed’s validity under Indian property law, which generally restricts hibanama gifts to blood relatives.
