As part of the ongoing investigation into a dispute over 17 acres of land worth around ₹500 crore in Indore’s Kanadia area, police questioned businessman and Congress leader Pankaj Sanghvi on Tuesday. His nephew and business partner, Prateek Sanghvi, was also summoned for questioning. Pankaj Sanghvi, associated with Sanyam Infra, has previously contested both the Madhya Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket. Dispute over ₹500-crore land The dispute erupted about a week ago over the ownership and possession of the 17-acre land in the Kanadia area. According to police, people linked to Sanyam Infra and local residents got into a confrontation over the property. After receiving information, police personnel Vijay Sikarwar and Ashish Sharma reached the spot. Police alleged that Mohsin and his associates present at the site argued with the officers during the incident. A case was registered two days after the confrontation, while the accused were arrested seven days later. Pankaj, Prateek Sanghvi questioned Additional DCP Amrendra Singh said notices were issued to Pankaj Sanghvi and Prateek Sanghvi, asking them to appear before investigators. Pankaj Sanghvi left the police station after his questioning, while Prateek Sanghvi was still being questioned when this report was filed. Police examining company’s role According to police, Sanyam Infra has four partners—Pankaj Sanghvi, Prateek Sanghvi, Deepak, and Ashish. Officials said Prateek Sanghvi was called because he is the primary signatory on the company’s official documents. Investigators are trying to determine who asked Mohsin and his associates to reach the disputed land during the confrontation and whether any other individuals were involved. Police have not confirmed any action against either Pankaj Sanghvi or Prateek Sanghvi so far, stating that the investigation is still underway. Long-running diamond palace colony land dispute According to police, the disputed land in Diamond Palace Colony is claimed by the Sanghvi family. The property has been at the centre of a long-standing dispute between the Sanghvi family and local residents over alleged encroachments and construction activities. The matter has also reached court, but no final resolution has been reached. Police said they are continuing to investigate the case and are questioning all parties connected with the land dispute.
