On 3rd December, Sheetal Tejwani was detained by the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of Pune Police in relation to a case registered at Khadak Police Station regarding the shady land deal involving her and Amadea Enterprises LLP in the Bopodi area. Her police custody with the Pune Police ended on Monday, and a production warrant was issued in her name by the Paud Court to the Pimpri-Chinchwad Police.

On Tuesday morning, Tejwani was detained by the Pimpri-Chinchwad Police from Yerawada Central Jail. A medical test will be done on her, and she will be produced in Paud Court shortly.

A case was registered against Tejwani, suspended Sub Registrar Ravindra Taru, and Digvijay Patil at Bavdhan Police Station last month for alleged irregularities in the Mundhwa Mahar Watan Land Deal. Tejwani had the power of attorney in both cases and was the one who initiated the deals. In Bavdhan, allegations were made against her and others for duping the government of approximately Rs 6 crore, as the land in Mundhwa was government-owned and not allowed to be privately sold.

Speaking about this update, Senior Police Inspector Anil Vibhute, in charge of the Bavdhan Police Station, told The Free Press Journal, “We have arrested her using a production warrant issued to us by the Paud Court. We are producing her shortly in court to get the police custody.”
