Activists Vijay Kumbhar and Anjali Damania have asked the Pune police to include Parth Pawar, the son of Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, and JDR Santosh Hingane in the FIRs related to alleged land irregularities in Mundhwa and Bopodi.
They also want the two separate FIRs to be merged into one.
The activists say that Parth Pawar and Hingane are involved in the scam and have evidence to support their claims.
The police have not yet named Parth Pawar in the FIRs, and the activists are asking for a thorough investigation.
Activists demand inclusion of Parth Pawar and JDR Santosh Hingane in FIRs for alleged land irregularities in Mundhwa and Bopodi.
