Mumbai Dec 10 (UNI) The Bombay High Court on Wednesday raised several questions on the ongoing investigation into the Pune land deal case involving Parth Pawar, son of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar. The High Court raised these questions during the hearing of an anticipatory bail application moved by business woman Sheetal Tejwani.
The HC bench headed by Justice Madhav Jamdar asked questions as to why Parth Pawar was not named in the FIR. "Is the police protecting the son of the deputy chief minister and only investigating others?" the Court asked, while hearing the bail application in the alleged Rs 300 crore Pune land deal case.
