Modi Schoolmate Seeks CBI Probe Into Maharashtra Land Dispute
Asgarali Vohra is an 81-year-old man who says he bought land in Bhayander East in 1989.
The land is about 2,810 square metres.
He says that in 2011, forged papers were made and the land was taken over and split into two parts.
He has named Swayam Builders and Seven Eleven Constructions in his allegations.

A police case was filed in 2015, and the dispute is still in court.
Vohra met his former schoolmate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on September 8.
He asked for a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry, while local authorities have scheduled a hearing for September 16.
