Navi Mumbai: Seven years after probe, no action on mega land fraud | Navi Mumbai

NAVI MUMBAI: Seven years after a state-appointed committee found fraudulent transactions linked to sale of thousands of acres of trust land in Navi Mumbai, no action has been taken against the accused, show documents procured through RTI queries.

Over 2,700 acres in Panvel and Uran—Azad Maidan is 25 acres—belonging to three trusts were shown to have individual ownership by forging documents and surrendered to Cidco in lieu of compensation and development rights over 12.5% of the plots. The land with public trusts were for communities and those with private trusts were for the benefit of several individuals, but these plots were illegally freed for commercial gains.
