Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut alleged a massive illegal land scam worth Rs 900 crore in Maharashtra's Konkan region, accusing the state government, local cabinet ministers, and MLAs of facilitating the illegal transfer of agricultural land to outside investors.
The transactions violated land conservation laws and Maharashtra's 'Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act' (Tukde Bandi Act), which prohibits selling fragmented agricultural land to non-farmers without legal sanction, specifically across Vengurla, Sawantwadi, and Dodamarg talukas of Sindhudurg district.
Sanjay Raut directly challenged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to immediately make all land transfer records in Sindhudurg public, reveal the names of buyers and facilitators, and disclose details of the ministers involved.
