The Economic Offences Wing (EoW) of the Nagpur Police has launched a probe into the case, he said.

As per a police release, EEL, as part of its expansion plans to establish a research and development unit, entered an agreement with Haveliwala Constructions and Developers Private Limited.

The deal, signed on July 1, 2022, entailed the purchase of four pieces of land at Mouza Waddhamna and Mouza Suradurdi, it said.

However, despite receiving a substantial sum of Rs 42.98 crore from EEL, the accused allegedly did not execute the sale deed as per the agreement.

An investigation is now underway under the supervision of deputy commissioner of police (EoW) Archit Chandak to uncover the details of this alleged land fraud, the release stated.
