Rahatani, 16th July 2024: A man was entrusted with the responsibility of caring for a piece of land in Pimpri Chinchwad. However, he illegally seized the land from its owner. On the 10 Gunthas of land, he put up a board indicating the land belonged to him. Pimpri Chinchwad Police have arrested one person in this case. The incident occurred from December 2021 to March 2024 in Rahatani.
