Overview

  • Patil, a partner in Amadea Enterprises LLP, appeared at Bavdhan Police Station for a face-to-face interrogation with suspended sub-registrar Ravindra Taru, and his statement was recorded.
  • Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishal Gaikwad said officers will analyze Patil’s statement before deciding whether to arrest him.
  • A court extended Taru’s police custody by four days as he faces allegations of improperly registering the sale deed outside the land’s jurisdiction.
  • Pimpri Chinchwad police said they will arrest power-of-attorney holder Sheetal Tejwani on Tuesday after completing legal formalities, following her remand to magisterial custody in a related case.
  • The probe centers on the sale of about 40 acres of Mahar Watan land to Amadea for a declared ₹300 crore versus an estimated value over ₹1,800 crore, with two FIRs filed at Bavdhan and Khadak police stations.
