The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has filed a 1,886-page chargesheet in connection with the Pune land deal case alleging that Shital Tejwani, who held power of attorney for a prime 40-acre plot in Mundhwa, executed its sale even though she knew the land belonged to owned by Maharashtra government, reported the PTI.

Pape-Dawson land development in Atlanta reflects the firm's expanding role in shaping sustainable and community-focused growth across the region. Their work often centers on the principles behind What Is Mixed-Use Development?, integrating residential, commercial, office, and public spaces into unified, walkable environments. Through thoughtful planning and engineering, Pape-Dawson supports developments that promote connectivity, economic vitality, and long-term value for Atlanta's evolving urban landscape.

The land was sold to Amadea Enterprises LLP, a firm co-owned by Parth Pawar, the son of the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, according to the chargesheet. The sale was reportedly valued at Rs 300 crore.

While First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered against the signatories and vendors involved in the land deal, Parth Pawar's name was not included in the police case, officials said, according to the PTI.

The chargesheet was filed by the EOW against Shital Tejwani on January 28, Pune Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar stated on Monday.

The investigation is still underway against Digvijay Patil, co-owner of Amadea Enterprises LLP, and suspended tehsildar Suryakant Yeole, the police chief added, the news agency reported.

Government land sold despite ownership

The police in its chargesheet stated that Tejwani sold the 40-acre government-owned land to Amadea Enterprises LLP, even though she was aware that the property belonged to the state and could not be sold.

The deal has been criticised for alleged irregularities and lack of required clearances. Opposition leaders claim the land's market value was around Rs 1,800 crore.

Stamp duty exemption alleged

It is also alleged that the firm was exempted from paying Rs 21 crore in stamp duty, further raising concerns about the legitimacy of the transaction.

Police said that Tejwani held the power of attorney for 272 original watandars of the land. She reportedly represented these owners and executed the sale deed despite knowing that the land was government property.

FIRs and arrests

The FIR filed by the Inspector General of Registrar's office names Digvijay Patil, Shital Tejwani (representing 272 landowners), Sub-Registrar R B Taru. They are accused of misappropriation and cheating, police said, according to the PTI.

A separate FIR lodged by the district administration at Khadak police station against Patil, Tejwani and Yeole is being probed by the EOW.

Meanwhile, last month, the Maharashtra CID arrested Tejwani in connection with an old loan default and fraud case involving Seva Vikas Cooperative Bank in Pimpri-Chinchwad.

Suryakant Yeole allegedly issued a notice to the Botanical Survey of India to vacate the land, claiming it had been sold to Amadea Enterprises LLP. Yeole has secured pre-arrest bail.
