Pune's top cop has stated there is no proof of Parth Pawar's role in a controversial land deal. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filed a 1,886-page chargesheet in connection with the Pune land deal case, alleging that Shital Tejwani executed the sale of property owned by the Maharashtra government. The chargesheet was filed against Tejwani on January 28, according to Pune Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar.

The land in question, located in Mundhwa, was reportedly sold to Amadea Enterprises LLP, a firm co-owned by Parth Pawar, son of the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. The sale was reportedly valued at ₹300 crore. The land was a Mahar Watan land, and was leased to the Botanical Survey of India. It was sold to Amadea Enterprises LLP without the mandatory approval of the state government.

While First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered against the signatories and vendors involved in the land deal, Parth Pawar's name was not included in the police case. According to a police officer associated with the investigation, the probe has so far identified Tejwani as the main accused, and no evidence has emerged to establish the involvement of Parth Pawar or his associate Digvijay Patil. The chargesheet against Tejwani was filed on January 27, within 60 days of the FIR being registered.

Commissioner Kumar clarified that Parth has not been named as an accused in the present chargesheet and that the probe related to the firm is ongoing. The investigation is still underway against Digvijay Patil, co-owner of Amadea Enterprises LLP, and suspended tehsildar Suryakant Yeole. Statements of 10 witnesses have been recorded so far.

The chargesheet alleges that Tejwani, who held power of attorney for a prime 40-acre plot in Mundhwa, executed its sale even though she knew the land belonged to the Maharashtra government. According to the prosecution, the accused allegedly manipulated revenue records and misused official procedures to enable unlawful transactions involving around 40 acres of land classified as government property. These acts were allegedly committed between February 2024 and July 2025. Investigators have named Tejwani as the prime accused, alleging that she played a central role in coordinating documentation and engaging intermediaries to push through the land transfer.

The development has triggered a sharp reaction from social activist Anjali Damania, who raised serious questions over the manner in which the investigation was conducted. Damania questioned why only Tejwani was named as an accused and what happened to the investigation involving Digvijay Patil and Parth Pawar, alleging that the case reflected selective justice. She asked whether Maharashtra was turning into a center of political brokerage and whether the law now applied only to ordinary citizens, stating that it amounts to a mockery of justice when influential individuals escape scrutiny while the law is enforced strictly against the poor.
