The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has launched an investigation into a significant land gift involving the driver of Shiv Sena Member of Parliament Sandipan Bhumre and his son, Vilas, who is also a Member of the Legislative Assembly. The case centers around a ‘Hibanama,’ or gift deed, for a valuable three-acre plot in Dawoodpura, Hyderabad, valued at ₹150 crore. This land was allegedly gifted by members of the renowned Salar Jung family, known for their historical significance and legacy in Hyderabad.

The investigation aims to uncover the legitimacy of this transaction and determine whether any legal or financial improprieties occurred. The Salar Jung family, historically influential in Hyderabad, has been linked to this land transfer, raising questions about the motivations and legality behind the gift. The EOW is scrutinizing the circumstances under which this substantial property was transferred to the MP’s driver, examining potential breaches of trust or misuse of power.

This case highlights broader issues of wealth distribution and the potential misuse of political influence in India. It also underscores the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in addressing complex financial transactions involving high-profile individuals. The involvement of a prominent political figure’s family adds another layer of complexity to the investigation, as authorities work to ensure transparency and accountability.

As the EOW continues its probe, the outcome could have significant implications for those involved and may prompt further scrutiny of similar transactions across the country. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in monitoring high-value asset transfers and maintaining integrity within political circles.
