- 19 acres of land
- There are allegations of defrauding 71 crores
Nagpur. A case was registered with the police for smuggling of 71 crores by preparing a layout on the land given by Pranyas for cultivation. In the initial phase, a case may have been registered against some other people including the builder, but due to the addition of the names of some officials of Pranyas with the land mafia, sources expressed the possibility of coming under fire soon. It is noteworthy that Pranyas has 19.10 acres of land in Chandmari, Wathoda. Its original owner was a farmer named Pandya Teli. It was acquired by Pranyas in the year 1953 under the Drainage and Sewerage Disposal Scheme. But the plan did not materialize for long. Due to which in the year 1969, Pranyas leased this land to Mahipat Shendre, Gajanan Shendre, Sarjabai Bawankar for cultivation. Pranyas also made an agreement regarding this.
Dharmdas Ramani again came into the limelight
It is noteworthy that with the help of Chandrakant Shendre, Kamlesh Shendre, Manda Shendre and Premchand Shendre, fake documents were prepared about the ownership of the land. The builder sold the land by making letters of authority to Dharamdas Ramani, Sheikh Mehmood and Mukund Vyas. After which these three put the plot on the land and sold it. So far, about 400 houses have been built on this land. Only a few plots are lying vacant. Due to some dispute regarding the open plot, the matter reached the police. The police several times requested Pranyas to solve the issue by giving information. But the officials ignored it. Despite being the land of Pranyas, the officials of Pranyas kept their hands on their ears. Due to the worsening of the matter, the police registered the case, as well as the police with the help of Pranyas started bulldozers on some houses built on the open plot.
Doubts on the functioning of the trust
It is said that several times a letter was sent by the police to Pranyas asking him to reveal the reality in this context. Even after Pranyas had the documents of the whole case, the police was not cooperated. According to sources, some part of this land was sold to different builders. It has been bought and sold many times. In which the names of the officers of the trust are also being taken. Despite the request of the police, doubts are being raised on the functioning of Pranyas due to ignoring the whole matter.
Efforts to change the user of the land
According to sources, the said land has been reserved under the sewerage disposal scheme. Being a reserved land, it was not possible to prepare a layout or plot on it. Due to which an effort was also made to change the user of this land. Such a feat was done only with the help of the officials. It is noteworthy that a similar case is pending before the High Court. On which a committee was constituted by the High Court. Investigation is being done by the committee regarding the construction on the reserved lands. On the one hand the investigation is going on, while on the other hand the entire administration is in a tizzy due to this matter of Pranyas being exposed.
