Pune EOW Files 1,886-Page Chargesheet Against Sheetal Tejwani in Mundhwa Land Case

The case centers on a 40-acre Mahar Watan parcel leased to the Botanical Survey of India that police say was sold despite state ownership.

Overview

  • Pune police say the chargesheet, filed in late January, accuses Tejwani of executing the sale of the government-owned Mundhwa land to Amadea Enterprises LLP despite knowing it belonged to the state.
  • Officials say Parth Pawar is not named in the case, and investigations continue into Amadea co-owner Digvijay Patil and suspended tehsildar Suryakant Yeole.
  • A separate Bavdhan police case has led to a chargesheet against Tejwani and suspended sub-registrar R. B. Taru over alleged stamp-duty evasion of about ₹21 crore and facilitation of the sale deed.
  • Investigators state Tejwani held power of attorney for 272 watandars and used that authority to carry out the transfer of land recorded in the government’s name and leased to the Botanical Survey of India.
  • Reports place the transaction value near ₹300 crore, while opposition leaders claim the market value was about ₹1,800 crore; Tejwani remains in judicial custody following earlier arrests.
