The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has issued notices to 11 people, including two officers serving as officer-on-special-duty (OSD) to Maharashtra deputy chief minister Sunetra Pawar, in its probe into alleged irregularities in a government land deal in Pune’s Mundhwa area linked to a company associated with Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar
The Bombay High Court in September had directed the Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) to explain why deputy chief minister Suntera Pawar’s son and Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar has not been named as an accused in the Mundhwa land deal case, although he owns 99% of Amadea Enterprises LLP, which purchased the 40-acre plot.
Parth Pawar, too, may be questioned, according to Right to Information (RTI) activist Vijay Kumbhar, who had earlier approached the police seeking a probe. A senior police officer said on Saturday that the notices had been issued to record the statements of those connected with the transaction.
