The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on homes of Bhoodan Land scam accused on Monday in Hyderabad.

Inspections have also been carried out in the Maheshwaram land case. The ED officials conducted searches in the houses of Munawar Khan and Qadir Unnisa in the old city as well as Sarfan and Sukkur. Munawar Khan and Qadir Unnisa developed an illegal layout and sold the Bhoodan lands. It is known that IAS officer Amay Kumar was questioned by the ED officials in the same case earlier.

There is about 103 acres of land in survey numbers 181 and 182 in Nagaram of Maheswaram mandal from Rangareddy district. However, a dispute has been going on over this land for some time now. It seems that about 50 acres of land has been encroached upon. After handing over this 50 acres of land to private individuals, they have divided it into plots and are currently selling it. However, this matter is in the court's jurisdiction. With this, the court stayed the transactions related to those lands.

However, ED officials have found that a large amount of money has changed hands in this matter. After a vigilance inquiry was conducted on this matter following the encroachment of the 50 acres of land, the ED officials are continuing the investigation based on that report.

In the Bhoodan land case, the ED officials have issued notices to Amay Kumar, who previously served as the Rangareddy district Collector and have questioned him several times. In addition, the ED also issued notices to the then MLAs and questioned them. After a long gap, the ED is again acting aggressively on the Bhoodan land case.

However, the ED officials have also focused on those, who bought plots and sold them to real estate companies and those, who bought Bhoodan lands and sold them to others. As part of this, searches are currently being conducted in the old city. The ED officials have conducted searches in Yakatpura and Santoshnagar areas. The searches are mainly being conducted in the residences of Munawar Khan, Qadir Unnisa, and Sarfan in the old city.
