Pune, 3rd May 2025: In a significant development that could expose deeper irregularities in the land records system, the Pune City Police have registered a case against two government officials from the Land Records Office, Haveli, following a complaint by a businessman. The complainant alleged that the accused officers allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 50 lakh for demarcating land in Hadapsar.
The accused have been identified as:
Amarsingh Ramchandra Patil, Deputy Superintendent, Land Records, Haveli, Pune (resident of Kalyaninagar)
Kiran Krishnat Yetale, Land Surveyor, Land Records, Haveli, Pune

Probe Handed to Economic Offences Wing
