Maharashtra orders SIT probe into historic 170-acre land allocation of 'Premier Automobiles' in Kalyan

Mumbai, Sep 18 (UNI) In a move that has sent ripples through both the corporate sector and the real estate market, the Maharashtra Revenue department has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the historical allocation of over 170 acres of land given to Premier Automobiles—the erstwhile manufacturer of the iconic 'Padmini' car—in Kalyan of neighbouring Thane district.
The investigation will scrutinize administrative orders and transfers dating back more than 60 years, from 1962 to 1965.
The inquiry was initiated following a formal complaint filed by Congress leader Nana Patole on August 11, leading Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule to direct the formation of a 9-member SIT, which was officially constituted on September 4.
