'No interference in police probe'

Ajit Pawar also reiterated that he was not aware of the deal. "Soon after coming to know of it, I contacted Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was in Nagpur on Thursday. I had assured him of my support for any probe (into the land deal). I have also been told that two FIRs were registered in two separate land deals in Pune. There is no question of interfering with the police investigation", declared Ajit Pawar, who happens to be the District Guardian Minister of Pune.

He claimed the investigation will also focus on wrongdoings in the registration process, how it was done and who did it. When it was pointed out that Parth Pawar's name was missing in the FIR, the Deputy CM said Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule had already stated that the FIR was registered against those who were present for the sale deed registration.
