EOW Investigates BJP MLA in Sahara Land Case
Imagine a company that sold land, but didn't put all the money where it was supposed to go.
Now, the police are investigating.
They found that a company, along with a BJP MLA's family, bought land from Sahara.
The company was supposed to put the money from the land sales into a special account, but they didn't put in a lot of the money.
The company also sold the land for much cheaper than it was worth in several cities.
Now, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is looking into this to see what happened.
EOW has registered a case in the Sahara land case involving BJP MLA Sanjay Pathak.
The investigation follows complaints regarding land sales and financial irregularities.
Sahara officials allegedly diverted ₹72.82 crore instead of depositing it into the SEBI-Sahara-Refund Account.
Land sales occurred at prices significantly below market rates across multiple locations.
The case involves land sales in Bhopal, Jabalpur, Katni, Sagar, and Gwalior.
