The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint before the Special PMLA Court in Mapusa against Rohan Harmalkar and others in connection with the Bardez land scam. The action comes in the wake of multiple FIRs filed against the accused for alleged cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy.
The ED's prosecution complaint, equivalent to a chargesheet under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), follows a detailed investigation into irregularities involving illegal land transfers and fraudulent documentation in the Bardez taluka.
The scam reportedly involves manipulation of land records and forged documents to unlawfully acquire and sell valuable land parcels, causing significant loss to genuine landowners and raising serious concerns over real estate dealings in the area.
The ED's move marks a crucial development in the case and signals further tightening of the probe around those allegedly involved in the multi-crore scam. Further court proceedings are awaited.
