Pune, 14th February 2026: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Pune Police has carried out searches and evidence collection in connection with the alleged ₹600-crore Goel–Patel–Thakwani land fraud case, officials said.
As part of the ongoing investigation, EOW teams conducted detailed panchnamas at the Special Investigation Team (SIT) office and at the offices of the company concerned.

Jhavar, in his statement, expressed support for the investigative process and said he trusts that the law will take its course. Marvel Realtors, a prominent real estate firm in Pune, has been closely monitoring the developments and is committed to ensuring transparency and compliance with legal requirements.
The EOW's actions highlight the seriousness with which the authorities are treating this case. The land fraud not only involves a substantial amount of money but also has the potential to impact the real estate market and public trust in property transactions in the region. The authorities are working diligently to trace the accused and recover the misappropriated funds.
As the investigation progresses, it is expected that more details will emerge, shedding light on the extent of the fraud and the individuals involved. The public is advised to stay informed through official channels and avoid spreading unverified information.
The EOW's proactive approach in this case is a testament to the commitment of law enforcement to combat financial crimes and protect the interests of the public. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of due diligence and transparency in high-value transactions, particularly in the real estate sector.
