The director of a real estate company, 'Himalaya Infra Private Limited,’ was taken into custody on Wednesday.
This development is linked to alleged irregularities in the acquisition of about 42 hectares of land by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in 2011-12.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Noida Zone I), Praveen Kumar Singh, confirmed the arrest of Vivek Kumar Jain.
He stated that Jain was apprehended from the Beta-2 police station area.
Singh further noted that the company in which Jain holds a directorial position is being investigated as a potential shell company.
Following his arrest, Jain was produced before a court in Meerut and subsequently sent to 14-day judicial custody.
The roots of the scandal trace back to 2019 when a case was registered against several high-ranking officials.
Key figures implicated in the case include the then Chief Executive Officer of YEIDA, PC Gupta; Chief Development Officer (CDO) Satish Kumar; OSD B P Singh; Tehsildars Suresh Chand and Ranveer Singh; and Naib Tehsildar Chaman Singh.
The police have since filed a chargesheet in court against 12 accused, including the two Tehsildars.
The apprehension of Jain is a significant step forward in the investigation, as it sheds light on the alleged involvement of private firms in the land acquisition process.
The case has drawn widespread attention due to the large scale of land involved and the potential financial ramifications for the individuals and entities implicated.
The Gautam Buddha Nagar Police remain committed to thoroughly investigating the matter and ensuring that all parties involved are held accountable for their actions.
The community and local authorities are closely monitoring the developments, hoping for a resolution that upholds the rule of law and justice for all stakeholders.
Himalaya Infra Private Limited is a company that has been under scrutiny for its suspected involvement in various real estate ventures.
