The Maharashtra government has constituted a five-member high-level inquiry committee under the chairmanship of Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue, Stamps and Registration) Vikas Kharge to conduct a probe into the land row involving Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar.

Parth Pawar is accused of using his company, Amadea Enterprises, to purchase government land worth Rs 1,800 crore for only Rs 300 crore, along with a waiver of stamp duty in the Koregaon Park area of Mundhwa, Pune.

Acting upon the directions of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule issued the government order establishing the committee on Friday. The panel has been mandated to submit its findings and recommendations within one month.
