Mumbai/Nagpur:Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a probe into the land scam allegations in Pune involving his deputy Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar.

A company owned by the National Congress Party (NCP) chief's son faces serious charges over a land deal of Rs 300 crore for a property worth Rs 1,804 crore, with the opposition now alleging that they also received massive concessions in serious violation of the law.

The Chief Minister asserted that his government won't tolerate such irregularities and assured strict action in the case.

"If there are any irregularities, action will definitely be taken against them. Our coalition government believes in transparency, so this matter will be investigated to determine whether there are any irregularities, and if so, strict action will be taken," he said.

Fadnavis said that he has sought more information from the Revenue and Land Records departments regarding the case. The government will take an official stand based on the findings of the investigation, he assured.

"The issues that have come to light prima facie are very serious. Therefore, I'll comment on this matter in detail only after receiving all the information," said the Chief Minister.
