26 Booked in ₹33-Crore Illegal Sale of Animal Husbandry Land in Tathawade

Read Time:-1 Min

Police have registered a case against 26 people, including a sub-registrar, for allegedly orchestrating the illegal sale of 15 acres of government-owned land belonging to the Animal Husbandry Department (AHD) in Tathawade for ₹33 crore.

According to officials, the accused wrongfully projected the disputed 6.32-hectare land as their private property by using an outdated 2023 7/12 extract. However, the updated records clearly show that AHD has been the true owner since 1945-1946, which prohibits its sale. 

The buyers, sellers claiming to be “legal heirs,” and sub-registrar Vidya Shankar Bade-Sangale have all been named in the FIR. Investigators say mandatory digital verification was allegedly bypassed to approve the transaction.

AHD officials discovered the scam during a routine inspection and immediately filed a complaint. The Registration Department has suspended the sub-registrar, and the AHD is preparing a civil suit to cancel the sale deed.

Police are probing possible wider collusion and undervaluation, calling the case a “major attempt to convert high-value government land into private property illegally.
