The chargesheet was electronically filed before the jurisdictional judicial magistrate court on Saturday, within the statutory 90-day period. One acre and 35 cents of mutt land, dedicated in 1888 for religious and charitable purposes, was allegedly sold and registered despite an appeal pending before the Hindu religious and charitable endowments (HR&CE) department, according to a statement. The property has an estimated guideline value of around ₹16 crore, while the sale deed reportedly cited a consideration of ₹2 crore. CBCID investigators examined more than 160 witnesses and analysed records obtained from the registration, revenue and HR&CE departments, along with CCTV footage, call detail records and banking transactions.
