u/Due_Special6544

I am a senior citizen who has retired from the Ministry of Defense. I have served the country all my life. But today, at the age of 70, I find myself struggling alone for the land my father bought in 1997 — and the biggest problem is that I don’t live there, so the local tehsildar and DySLR office don’t respond to my complaints. Even after repeated correspondence, they keep stalling on giving a response.

The stones marking my boundaries have been uprooted and thrown away. The fence has been broken. And the locals openly say — "You don’t live here, so we are going to take your plot. We have seized land like this before." But I am seeking a fair investigation from the government authorities.

The DySLR Muktaeinagar office has itself acknowledged in writing that there are no independent measurement records of personal plots in this area (Resettlement Phase 2), nor are there digital land records or ULPIN entries. Despite this, in 2020, the measurement of the plot next to mine was carried out without any legal notice to me — which is a clear violation of Section 135 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966.

I only ask for this — that the Jalgaon District Collector and the Resettlement Department determine my boundaries based on the official map they have. That’s all I am saying. Being a senior citizen and not residing in the village, I am deliberately being subjected to mental harassment. I request that a high-level inquiry be conducted into this matter.

https://muktainagarvoice.github.io/

I just hope that some honest official will come forward to help. If any of you have had a similar experience or know the right direction, please do let me know.

New Update:

The Deputy Superintendent of Land Records (DySLR), Muktainagar, appears to be closing complaints raised through the District Collector's grievance system without addressing the actual issues raised.

Instead of providing specific information and documents requested in the complaints, the same PDF responses are repeatedly uploaded, and the grievances are marked as disposed.

My complaints relate to: • Alleged encroachment on Punarvasan Tappa 2 Plot No. 73

• Verification of Mojni Kramank 745 (Gut No. 74)

• Request for measurement records and official documents

• Clarification regarding disputed land measurements

Despite multiple representations, the original questions remain unanswered.

For the sake of transparency, I have uploaded all RTI applications, grievance documents, and related records online:

https://muktainagarvoice.github.io/rti.html

I respectfully request the concerned authorities to examine the actual grievances and provide document-based replies instead of repetitive responses.

I am posting this on behalf of a 70-year-old senior citizen who retired after decades of service under a Ministry of Defence establishment and is now seeking legal guidance and administrative assistance regarding a land boundary issue in Maharashtra.

https://i.ibb.co/hFq9zrGK/file-00000000b0a471fa9f8a0586b73e8f55.png

Location:

Punarvasan Tappa No. 2, Muktainagar, District Jalgaon, Maharashtra.

Property Details:

Punarvasan Tappa 2 Plot No. 73 Muktaingar Jalgaon

Original Area:185.80 Sq. Meters (approximately 2000 Sq. Ft.)

Approximate Dimensions:13.50 meters × 13.76 meters

Boundaries:

East – Road

West – Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 Plot No. 64

North –Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 Plot No. 74

South –Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 Plot No. 72

The major concern is that the original plot area appears substantially reduced on the ground. By visual observation, only around 500 Sq. Ft. appears to be available today.

Official replies received from the Land Records authorities indicate that plot-wise official measurement of Punarvasan Tappa No. 2, Muktainagar, Jalgaon has not been carried out. Consequently, the boundaries of individual rehabilitation plots do not appear to have been officially determined through a comprehensive measurement process.

One important observation is that Plots No. 69, 70, 71, 72, 74 and 75 in Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 generally appear to correspond with the sizes and positions shown in the rehabilitation layout.

However, Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 Plot No. 73 alone appears to have substantially less area available on the ground.

This raises a genuine question:

If no official plot-wise measurement has been conducted, then on what official records or documents were the boundaries of Plots No. 69 to 75 in Punarvasan Tappa No. 2, Muktainagar, Jalgaon determined?

The family is not seeking conflict with neighbouring plot holders.

The only requests are:

Determination of the original boundary of Punarvasan Tappa No. 2 Plot No. 73.

Verification of the approved rehabilitation records and layout.

Joint inspection by the concerned departments.

Restoration of the original area if any discrepancy is found through official records.

Multiple RTIs, representations and administrative complaints have already been submitted to the concerned authorities.

A humble request is made to:

• Government of Maharashtra Revenue Department

• Department of Land Resources

• District Rehabilitation Department, Jalgaon

• Rehabilitation Authorities

• Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis

• Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde

• Hon'ble Minister Shri Chandrashekhar Bawankule

• Hon'ble Minister of State Shri Yogesh Kadam

• Shri Vikas Shankar Kharge, IASAdditional Chief Secretary

• Shri Rohan Ghuge Collector, Jalgaon

After decades of public service, a senior citizen is now seeking only one thing:

Please help determine the original boundary of Punarvasan Tappa No. 2, Plot No. 73, Muktainagar, Jalgaon through official records and lawful administrative action.

Website: https://silentnyaymuktainagar.github.io/

I sincerely request legal advice regarding:

• What should be the next step?

• Has anyone faced a similar rehabilitation plot issue in Maharashtra?

Thank you for your guidance.

महाराष्ट्रातील मोजणी घोटाळा - शेतकरी आणि जमीनमालकांनी हे जरूर वाचा

जमीन मोजणी म्हणजेच "मोजणी" ही महाराष्ट्रात भूमी अभिलेख विभागामार्फत केली जाणारी अधिकृत प्रक्रिया आहे. पण गेल्या काही वर्षांत याच प्रक्रियेत इतका भ्रष्टाचार शिरला आहे की सरकारनेच विधान परिषदेत कबूल केले - हा राज्याच्या इतिहासातील सर्वात मोठा महसूल घोटाळा असू शकतो.

काय झालं नक्की?

मार्च २०२६ मध्ये राज्य सरकारने मान्य केले की पुणे जिल्ह्यातील १५२ महसूल अधिकाऱ्यांनी जवळपास दीड लाख शेतकऱ्यांच्या ७/१२ उताऱ्यांमध्ये बेकायदेशीरपणे बदल केले. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/maharashtra-govt-admits-pune-land-scam-orders-statewide-audit) (स्रोत: https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/maharashtra-govt-admits-pune-land-scam-orders-statewide-audit)

महसूल अधिकाऱ्यांना जमिनींच्या व्यवहारात फेरफार करण्याचा आणि त्यात दुरुस्ती करण्याचा अधिकार असतो - त्यामुळेच महसूल विभाग हे भ्रष्टाचाराचे कुरण बनले. सरकारच्या तपासात ३८,०२७ प्रकरणे समोर आली, त्यातील २,३८२ प्रकरणांची तपासणी झाली आणि २४७ प्रकरणांत दोषी अधिकाऱ्यांवर विभागीय कारवाई सुरू झाली. [My Mahanagar](https://www.mymahanagar.com/maharashtra/maharashtra-land-record-controversy-7-12-scam-shivsena-ubt-mac-anil-parab-minister-chandrashekhar-bawankule/971078/amp/) (स्रोत: https://www.mymahanagar.com/maharashtra/maharashtra-land-record-controversy-7-12-scam-shivsena-ubt-mac-anil-parab-minister-chandrashekhar-bawankule/971078/amp/)

घोटाळा कसा होतो?

महाराष्ट्र जमीन महसूल संहितेच्या कलम १५५ अन्वये चुकीच्या नोंदी दुरुस्त करण्याचा अधिकार अधिकाऱ्यांना आहे - पण याचाच वापर करून जमिनीची मालकीच बदलून टाकण्यात आली. हे बदल "टंकलेखन चुका दुरुस्त केल्या" म्हणून दाखवण्यात आले, जेणेकरून ते सहज कोणाच्या लक्षात येणार नाहीत. या घोटाळ्यात दलालांशी संगनमत करून बेकायदेशीरपणे हस्तांतरित झालेल्या जमिनी विकण्यात आल्या. [Court Kutchehry](https://www.courtkutchehry.com/pages/blog/maharashtra-land-record-scam-section-155-fraud/) (स्रोत: https://www.courtkutchehry.com/pages/blog/maharashtra-land-record-scam-section-155-fraud/)

मोजणी करायला गेलात की "काम लवकर होणार नाही", "फाइल हरवली", "साहेब बाहेरगावी आहेत" असे सांगून वाट लावतात. मग एखादा दलाल येतो "मी बघतो" म्हणून - पैसे दिले की काम होते, पण नोंदीत हवे तसे बदल होतात.

परभणी जिल्ह्यात एका प्रकरणात बंधाऱ्याच्या बॅकवॉटरमध्ये गेलेल्या जमिनीची पुनर्मोजणी करण्यासाठी अर्ज केला होता - पण भूमी अभिलेख कार्यालयाच्या कर्मचाऱ्याने लाच मागितली आणि ACB ने त्याला रंगेहात पकडले.

यवतमाळात एका शेतकऱ्याने ३ एकर जमीन विकत घेतली, पण सरकारी भूमापकाने दुसऱ्यांशी संगनमत करून कागदपत्रांत फक्त १.५ एकरच दाखवले. शेतकऱ्याने ही फसवणूक सहन न होऊन आत्महत्या केली.

मुक्ताईनगर, जळगाव - #PunarvasanTappa2MuktaiNagar

हा प्रश्न फक्त पुणे किंवा यवतमाळापुरता नाही. जळगाव जिल्ह्यातील मुक्ताईनगर तालुक्यातही हाच प्रकार वर्षानुवर्षे सुरू आहे, फक्त इथे त्याला एक वेगळे आणि जास्त संवेदनशील रूप आहे - पुनर्वसन.

हतनूर धरण प्रकल्पातील ११ गावांच्या पुनर्वसनाचा प्रश्न इतका गुंतागुंतीचा बनला आहे की मदत व पुनर्वसन मंत्री मकरंद जाधव-पाटील यांना स्वतः मंत्रालयात बैठक घ्यावी लागली आणि जलसंपदा विभागाशी संयुक्त बैठक घेण्याचे आश्वासन द्यावे लागले. [Mahasamvad](https://mahasamvad.in/174608/) (स्रोत: https://mahasamvad.in/174608/)

पुनर्वसन टप्पा २ मधील कुटुंबांना शासनाकडून जमिनी मिळाल्या - पण त्यांची अधिकृत मोजणी, ७/१२ वर नोंद आणि फेरफार नीट न झाल्यामुळे अनेक कुटुंबे आजही त्या जमिनींवर हक्क सांगू शकत नाहीत. पुनर्वसित लोक आधीच विस्थापित असतात, त्यांना सरकारी कार्यालयाचे दरवाजे झिजवणे शक्य नसते - आणि याच गोष्टीचा फायदा तलाठी, भूमापक आणि दलाल मिळून उठवतात. मोजणी लांबवायची, जमीन कमी दाखवायची किंवा शेजाऱ्याच्या नावावर टाकायची - हे सगळे प्रकार #PunarvasanTappa2MuktaiNagar मध्ये वारंवार ऐकायला मिळतात.

म्हावशीसारख्या एकाच गावात सिटी सर्व्हे आणि फेरफार प्रक्रियेत १७९ हून अधिक चुकीच्या नोंदी झाल्या - एकाची प्रॉपर्टी दुसऱ्याच्या नावे नोंदवण्यात आली.

तुमचे ७/१२ आत्ताच तपासा

महाराष्ट्रात आता ई-मोजणी प्रणाली आली आहे आणि मोजणी ३० दिवसांत पूर्ण करणे बंधनकारक आहे. जमिनीत तफावत आढळल्यास भूमी अभिलेख विभागाकडे अर्ज करून (२ हेक्टरपर्यंत साधारण २ हजार रुपये शुल्क भरून) हद्द कायम मोजणी करता येते.

जर तुम्ही मुक्ताईनगर पुनर्वसन टप्पा २ चे रहिवासी असाल तर आत्ताच mahabhulekh.gov.in वर जाऊन तुमचा ७/१२ उतारा उघडा. नाव बरोबर आहे का, क्षेत्रफळ बरोबर आहे का, आणि इतर कोणाचे नाव तर नाही ना - हे तपासा.

लाच मागितली तर काय करायचे?

ACB च्या वेबसाईट आणि मोबाईल अँपवरही ऑनलाईन तक्रार करता येते. लाच मागितली जात असल्यास व्हिडिओ, ऑडिओ किंवा फोटो पुरावा घ्या आणि तक्रार नोंदवा.

वाजवी सरकारी कामासाठी कोणत्याही अधिकाऱ्याच्या दबावाला बळी पडू नका. ACB कडे तक्रार करण्यास घाबरू नका. [Acbmaharashtra](https://www.acbmaharashtra.gov.in/appeal-citizens) (स्रोत: https://www.acbmaharashtra.gov.in/appeal-citizens)

याशिवाय जळगाव जिल्हाधिकारी कार्यालयात थेट लेखी तक्रार देणे हाही एक प्रभावी मार्ग आहे, विशेषतः पुनर्वसन संबंधित जमीन वादांसाठी.

महाराष्ट्रातील शेतकऱ्यांनो आणि जमीनमालकांनो,

आपण सगळ्यांनी कधी ना कधी भूमी अभिलेख कार्यालयात (DySLR - Deputy Superintendent of Land Records) जाण्याचा अनुभव घेतला असेल. ७/१२ उतारा, फेरफार नोंद, भूमापन, सर्वे नकाशा - या कामांसाठी किती त्रास होतो हे वेगळं सांगायला नको. पण त्रासापलिकडे जे चाललंय ते खूपच गंभीर आहे.

जळगाव जिल्ह्यात सध्या काय चाललंय?

मार्च २०२६ मध्ये महाराष्ट्र विधानसभेत आमदार मंगेश चव्हाण यांनी "कॉलिंग अटेन्शन" मोशनद्वारे जळगाव जिल्ह्यातील राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग आणि इतर प्रकल्पांसाठी झालेल्या भूसंपादनातील मोठ्या अनियमिततेवर बोट ठेवलं. महसूल मंत्री चंद्रशेखर बावनकुळे यांनी स्वतः विधानसभेत मान्य केलं की हे प्रकरण खूप मोठं आहे आणि त्यात फक्त महसूल विभागच नाही, तर NHAI (राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग प्राधिकरण), मुद्रांक शुल्क विभाग, भूसंपादन कार्यालय, भूमी अभिलेख (Bhumi Abhilekh) आणि स्थानिक तलाठी कार्यालये यांचाही सहभाग असल्याचे संकेत आहेत. त्यांनी विभागीय आयुक्त प्रवीण गेडम यांच्या अध्यक्षतेखाली SIT (Special Investigation Team) स्थापन केली, ज्यात दोन IAS अधिकारी आणि एक IPS अधिकारी आहेत. नऊ वेगवेगळ्या गावांमधील भूसंपादन मोबदल्याच्या प्रकरणांची या SIT कडून चौकशी होणार आहे.

पाचोरा तालुक्यातील ६३ कोटींचा घोटाळा

मे २०२६ मध्ये आणखी एक धक्कादायक प्रकार उघडकीस आला. जळगाव लघु पाटबंधारे विभागाने पाचोरा तालुक्यातील पिंपळगाव बुद्रुक आणि अटलगाव येथे पाझर तलावासाठी संपादित केलेल्या जमिनीच्या वाढीव मोबदल्यासाठी बनावट कागदपत्रांचा वापर झाल्याचे समोर आले. तब्बल १७ गटांतील १५ शेतकऱ्यांनी विशेष भूसंपादन अधिकाऱ्यांचे बनावट लेटरहेड, बनावट शिक्के आणि महसूल विभागाची बनावट कागदपत्रे तयार करून ६३ कोटी रुपयांच्या वाढीव मोबदल्याचा दावा केल्याचे उघड झाले. यात दोन वकिलांसह सात शेतकऱ्यांवर गुन्हा दाखल झाला.

DySLR कार्यालयातील रोजचा भ्रष्टाचार

हे फक्त मोठ्या घोटाळ्यांपुरतं नाही. डेप्युटी सुपरिटेंडेंट ऑफ लँड रेकॉर्ड्स (DySLR) कार्यालयातील दैनंदिन भ्रष्टाचार सामान्य माणसाला सगळ्यात जास्त भोगावा लागतो. महाराष्ट्रभर याची उदाहरणे आहेत - पालघर जिल्ह्यात ACB ने DySLR कार्यालयातील उपअधीक्षक आणि लेखापालास जमीन मोजमाप नोंदी आणि संबंधित कागदपत्रे देण्यासाठी ३०,००० रुपयांची लाच घेताना रंगेहाथ पकडले. बीड जिल्ह्यात DySLR कार्यालयातील एका लिपिकाने शेत जमिनीच्या हद्द प्रश्नासाठी शेतकऱ्याकडून १०,००० रुपयांची लाच मागितली आणि ACB च्या सापळ्यात सापडला.

सात बारा उतारा नोंदींचा खेळ

सध्या जमीन खरेदी केल्यावर फेरफार नोंद ७/१२ वर होण्यासाठी महिनोन्महिने लागतात. मात्र भ्रष्ट अधिकाऱ्यांच्या मर्जीतले लोक जमीन खरेदी करताच तात्काळ नोंदी घेतात. एका प्रकरणात उघड झालं की संबंधित व्यक्तींनी ८३ आर पैकी १७ गुंठे जमिनीसाठी ४६ लाखांचा मोबदला मिळवला, तर दुसऱ्याने २ हेक्टर २९ आर पैकी १८ गुंठे जमिनीसाठी ४९ लाखांचा मोबदला लाटला - आणि हे सगळं बेकायदेशीर संगनमताने झालं.

नाशिकमधील DySLR अधिकाऱ्याचा धडकी भरवणारा प्रकार

नाशिकमध्ये एका नायब तहसीलदाराने "उपअधीक्षक भूमी अभिलेख" चे बनावट शिक्के वापरून, मूळ प्रत नसताना केवळ छायांकित प्रतींवरून ३१ प्रकरणांमध्ये फेरफार नोंदींचे आदेश दिले. हे पद २०१० नंतर अस्तित्वात आलेलं असताना त्याच नावाने बोगस पत्रव्यवहार करण्यात आला. तलाठ्यांनीच हा प्रकार उघड केला तेव्हा कुठे अटक झाली.

MuktaiNagar / जळगाव जिल्ह्यातील नागरिकांसाठी

मुक्ताईनगर तालुक्यासह जळगाव जिल्ह्यातील १५ तालुक्यांमध्ये १६ भूमी अभिलेख कार्यालये आहेत. जळगाव, भडगाव (टोणगाव), जामनेर (फत्तेपूर) आणि अमळनेर येथे CORS (सतत कार्यरत संदर्भ केंद्रे) आहेत. या कार्यालयांमधील जिल्ह्यातील १७,४४,३३८ पानांच्या सर्वेक्षण नोंदी स्कॅन झाल्या असल्याचं सरकारी संकेतस्थळ सांगतं, पण प्रत्यक्षात कागदपत्रे मिळवायला गेलात तर "खाली या, बघतो" असं उत्तर मिळतं.

काय करायचं?

जर तुम्हाला भूमी अभिलेख कार्यालयात लाच मागितली गेली, किंवा तुमच्या जमिनीच्या नोंदींमध्ये हेराफेरी झाल्याचा संशय असेल, तर ACB (लाचलुचपत प्रतिबंधक विभाग) कडे तक्रार करा. ACB हेल्पलाईन: 1064. तसेच Mahabhumi पोर्टलवर (bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in) तुमच्या जमिनीची नोंद स्वतः तपासत राहा. ऑनलाइन उपलब्ध असलेली माहिती आणि कार्यालयात दाखवली जाणारी माहिती यात फरक असेल तर तो संशयाचा विषय आहे.

सरकार डिजिटायझेशनचे गाजर दाखवतं, पण भ्रष्टाचाराची मुळे इतकी खोल आहेत की ऑनलाइन पोर्टल असूनही प्रत्यक्षात काम होत नाही "पैसे दिल्याशिवाय". जळगाव जिल्ह्यात राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग प्रकल्पांसाठी कोट्यवधी रुपयांचे घोटाळे झाले, SIT नेमली गेली - पण सामान्य शेतकऱ्याचं काय? त्याची जमीन, त्याचा ७/१२, त्याची हद्द - यासाठी तो अजूनही DySLR कार्यालयाच्या पायऱ्या झिजवतोय आणि खिसा रिकामा करतोय.

तुमचे अनुभव कमेंटमध्ये शेअर करा. जितके जास्त लोक बोलतील, तितकी जास्त जनजागृती होईल.

पुण्याच्या हवेली तालुक्यातील केसनंद गावातून एक धक्कादायक प्रकार समोर आला आहे. पुण्याच्या राजस्व विभागात बनावट सरकारी आदेशांद्वारे जमिनीचे 7/12 रेकॉर्ड बदलणे आणि NA परवानगी मिळवण्याचे प्रकार एका मोठ्या टोळीने केल्याचे उघड झाले आहे. [Navbharat Live](https://navbharatlive.com/maharashtra/pune/land-fraud-racket-fake-government-orders-pune-revenue-department-exposed-1785642.html)

12 मार्च रोजी केसनंद गावातील महसूल अधिकाऱ्यांना अतिरिक्त तहसीलदारांच्या कथित सहीचे एक पत्र मिळाले. त्यात शेतजमीन NA करण्याचे, जमीन विभाजनाचे आणि 7/12 नोंदी बदलण्याचे अनेक आदेश होते. त्या फाइलमध्ये बाबासाहेब तुकाराम हरगुडे यांचे नाव अर्जदार म्हणून होते. संशय आल्यानंतर तपास केला असता पत्र, आदेश आणि अधिकाऱ्यांच्या कथित सह्या बनावट असल्याचे निष्पन्न झाले. निवासी उपजिल्हाधिकारी ज्योती कदम यांच्या नावाने काढलेला NA परवानगी दस्तावेजही संशयास्पद आढळला. [Navbharat Live](https://navbharatlive.com/maharashtra/pune/land-fraud-racket-fake-government-orders-pune-revenue-department-exposed-1785642.html)

सर्वात मोठी गडबड ही होती की केसनंद गाव लोणी काळभोर तालुक्याच्या अतिरिक्त तहसीलदार कार्यालयाच्या अधिकारकक्षेत येते, मात्र पत्रव्यवहार हवेली तहसीलदार कार्यालयाशी दाखवण्यात आला होता. शेतकरी बाबासाहेब हरगुडे यांनी सांगितले की त्यांनी NA परवानगी काढण्याचे काम अरुण गायकवाड यांच्याकडे दिले होते, आणि त्यांना हप्त्याहप्त्याने एकूण 35 लाख रुपये दिले. त्यांनी वाघोली पोलीस ठाण्यात गायकवाड विरोधात तक्रार नोंदवली आहे.

हे एकट्या केसनंदचे प्रकरण नाही. महाराष्ट्राचे महसूल मंत्री चंद्रशेखर बावनकुळे यांनी विधान परिषदेत स्वतःच मान्य केले की राज्यात मोठा महसूल घोटाळा झाला असून महसूल अधिकाऱ्यांनी अधिकाराचा गैरवापर करून राज्यातील जवळपास एक ते दीड लाख शेतकऱ्यांच्या जमिनींच्या मालकी हक्कात परस्पर बदल केले.

जळगाव जिल्ह्यातही हेच चित्र आहे. महाराष्ट्र सरकारने जळगाव जिल्ह्यातील राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग आणि इतर प्रकल्पांसाठीच्या भूसंपादनातील कथित मोठ्या अनियमितता तपासण्यासाठी विभागीय आयुक्त प्रवीण गेडाम यांच्या अध्यक्षतेखाली विशेष तपास पथकाची (SIT) स्थापना केली आहे. या प्रकरणात केवळ महसूल विभागच नाही तर राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग प्राधिकरण, मुद्रांक शुल्क विभाग, भूसंपादन कार्यालय, भूमी अभिलेख आणि स्थानिक तलाठी कार्यालयेही यात गुंतल्याचे मंत्र्यांनी मान्य केले. [Prokerala](https://www.prokerala.com/news/articles/a1738294.html)

जळगावातील पाचोरा तालुक्यात लघु सिंचन विभागाने भूसंपादन केलेल्या जमिनीसाठी बनावट कागदपत्रे सादर करून वाढीव मोबदल्याची मागणी केल्याप्रकरणी वकिलांसह सात शेतकऱ्यांविरुद्ध गुन्हा दाखल करण्यात आला आहे.

तहसीलदार आणि उपनिबंधक राजकीय दबावाखाली काम करतात आणि घोटाळा उघड झाल्यानंतर सारा दोष त्यांच्या सहींवर थांबतो, त्यामागे ज्यांचे आदेश होते ते राजकारणी सुरक्षित राहतात. [Substack](https://kbssidhu.substack.com/p/punes-1800-crore-land-scam-how-power)

पुण्याच्या मुंढवा प्रकरणातही निलंबित तहसीलदार सूर्यकांत येवले यांनी बनावट नोटिसांद्वारे बेकायदेशीर मालकी आदेश काढल्याचा आरोप आहे आणि या प्रकरणाच्या तपासाकरिता सहा सदस्यीय समिती नेमण्यात आली आहे.

महाराष्ट्रातील महसूल यंत्रणेत असा भ्रष्टाचार इतका खोलवर रुजला आहे की एका सजग तलाठ्यामुळे किंवा एखाद्या जागरूक नागरिकामुळेच हे प्रकार उजेडात येतात. बाकी किती प्रकरणे अंधारातच राहतात, याचा विचार मन सुन्न करतो. सरकारने महसूल विभागाचे संपूर्ण डिजिटलायझेशन आणि स्वतंत्र लोकपाल यंत्रणेद्वारे तपासणी अनिवार्य केली नाही, तोपर्यंत हे थांबणार नाही.

तुमच्या भागात असे काही प्रकार घडले आहेत का? खाली सांगा.

If you live in Jalgaon or have ever had to deal with a government office here, none of this is going to shock you. What's surprising is how clearly the numbers show just how normalized bribe-taking has become. The Anti-Corruption Bureau's own review data lays it out plainly.

In 2024, 37 bribery cases were registered in Jalgaon district with 61 accused. In 2025 that jumped to 45 cases and 78 accused — an increase of 8 cases in a single year. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/revenue-department-tops-bribery-cases-in-jalgaon-in-2025-zilla-parishad-second) That's not a small uptick. That's a trend. And these are only the cases where someone was bold enough to approach the ACB and cooperate with a trap operation. The actual scale of everyday bribery is almost certainly far higher.

So which departments are the worst offenders?

The Revenue Department topped the charts in 2025, with the ACB conducting 7 actions resulting in the arrest of 13 people. The Zilla Parishad came in second with 5 traps laid and 6 accused. The Police Department had 5 cases, as did the Electricity Distribution Department. The Forest Department had 3 cases, Education Department 4, and there were individual cases against the Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, Land Records Department, and Public Health Department. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/revenue-department-tops-bribery-cases-in-jalgaon-in-2025-zilla-parishad-second) Basically, if there's a government counter where someone goes to get something done, there's a good chance someone behind it has their hand out.

Now here's how these things actually play out on the ground, with real examples from Jalgaon:

The ₹5 Lakh PWD Engineer Case — May 2026

This one just happened and is a good example of how deep the rot goes. (https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-pwd-engineer-arrested-by-acb-while-accepting-5-lakh-bribe-in-road-project-case)

A cement-concrete road project in Ward No. 14 at Vinoba Nagar in Jalgaon city had been sanctioned in 2024 at a cost of ₹80.39 lakh. The work was completed on time in 2025, but the contractor only received roughly ₹42 lakh in October 2025 while ₹38.49 lakh was held back. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-pwd-engineer-arrested-by-acb-while-accepting-5-lakh-bribe-in-road-project-case) When the contractor went to follow up, Branch Engineer Yogesh Abhimanyu Ahire of the PWD allegedly demanded ₹17 lakh to release the pending payment. After negotiating, they landed on ₹15 lakh, to be paid in two instalments.

According to the complaint, ₹7.50 lakh was allegedly meant for Ahire personally, while the remaining amount was allegedly to be distributed among senior officials. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-pwd-engineer-arrested-by-acb-while-accepting-5-lakh-bribe-in-road-project-case)

When the ACB laid a trap, Ahire allegedly told the complainant to leave the cash under the front seat of his blue Baleno car. He was caught red-handed. After his arrest, Ahire allegedly claimed that part of the money was meant for the son of a city corporator. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-pwd-engineer-arrested-by-acb-while-accepting-5-lakh-bribe-in-road-project-case) The investigation has now expanded. This is how it works — one engineer is caught, and suddenly there's a chain of names behind him.

The Pollution Control Board Officer with ₹6.79 Lakh Stashed at Home — September 2025

(https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-maharashtra-pollution-control-board-officer-caught-taking-rs-15000-bribe)

Rajendra Pandurang Suryavanshi, a Class-2 officer at the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board in Jalgaon, was caught accepting a bribe of ₹15,000. The complainant was a manager at a hospital in Raver whose application for a biowaste handling certificate had been deliberately stalled after Suryavanshi created problems in the paperwork. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-maharashtra-pollution-control-board-officer-caught-taking-rs-15000-bribe)

When the trap was laid, Suryavanshi used a private individual named Manoj Gajre as a middleman to collect the money. Both were arrested. When ACB searched Suryavanshi's office bag, they found ₹2,26,000 in cash. When they searched his home, another ₹4,53,000 turned up. He was taking ₹15,000 from a hospital. He had nearly ₹7 lakh sitting around. This kind of case shows you the bribe you see is rarely the full picture.

Two Police Constables from Amalner Caught Taking ₹12,000 to Protect an Illegal Business — 2025

Two police constables posted at Amalner Police Station — Amol Rajendra Patil and Jitendra Ramanlal Nikumbh — were caught by the ACB while accepting ₹12,000 from a relative to allow an illegal business to continue operating. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/jalgaon-maharashtra-pollution-control-board-officer-caught-taking-rs-15000-bribe) The police are supposed to be the ones stopping this.

The Gram Sevak Who Blocked a Farm Warehouse Permission — January 2024

(https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/gram-sevak-caught-red-handed-accepting-bribe-in-jalgaon-district)

In Chopda tehsil, a 39-year-old Gram Sevak named Hemchandra Dattatray Sonwane from Devgaon had actually granted a farmer permission to build a warehouse on his land, but then came back demanding ₹7,500 as a "reward" for having done his job. When the ACB verified the complaint and laid a trap, Sonwane was caught red-handed accepting ₹5,000, the amount settled upon after negotiation. A case was registered at Adavad Police Station. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/gram-sevak-caught-red-handed-accepting-bribe-in-jalgaon-district)

This one is worth paying attention to because of how petty it is. The permission had already been given. The official came back after the fact to extort money for work he had already done. This is the reality for farmers and small business owners in rural Jalgaon.

How the ACB trap system actually works

A lot of people don't know they have options when an official demands money. The process is straightforward. When someone approaches the ACB with a bribe complaint, officers first verify the demand is real, then coordinate a sting. The complainant carries marked currency notes and hands over the money while ACB officials and independent witnesses observe. The moment the official accepts, they are arrested on the spot. The Prevention of Corruption Act sections 7 and 12 are the usual charges. All 2025 Jalgaon operations were conducted under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent of Police Yogesh Thakur, who has urged citizens to contact the bureau if any government employee demands a bribe. [The Free Press Journal](https://www.freepressjournal.in/pune/revenue-department-tops-bribery-cases-in-jalgaon-in-2025-zilla-parishad-second) The ACB helpline is 1064 and complaints can be filed in person at the Jalgaon ACB office.

The big picture

The pattern across Jalgaon is consistent. Revenue officials stall 7/12 documents and land mutations until someone pays. PWD engineers hold contractor payments hostage. Forest officers demand money before clearing permits. Teachers and education officials take money for transfers or records. Police take money to look the other way or to close cases. The amounts range from ₹5,000 by a village-level gram sevak to ₹17 lakh by a city engineer. The same playbook repeats: delay the work, create a problem in the paperwork, or simply refuse to move forward until payment is made.

The ACB is catching more people than ever. But the question nobody is asking loudly enough is why the numbers are going up, not down.

Maharashtra is India's richest state, its financial capital, its industrial engine. It is also, according to its own Anti-Corruption Bureau, a state where a government employee gets caught taking a bribe almost twice a day. What follows is not an opinion piece. It is a city-by-city, name-by-name breakdown of who got caught, when, and how much they demanded. Every case is sourced. Read it and decide for yourself whether anything will ever change.

The Numbers First — Because They Are Staggering

In 2025, the ACB Maharashtra registered 669 trap cases across the state. That means 669 times, a citizen refused to pay a bribe, walked to the ACB, and a trap was successfully laid. 988 persons were booked. Rs 3.54 crore in bribe money was involved. The Nashik range had the most cases with 138, followed by Pune with 121, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar with 109, Thane with 82, Amravati with 71, Nanded with 55, Nagpur with 54 and Mumbai with 39. The Revenue and Land Records department was the most corrupt department with 168 cases, followed by Police with 120 cases, Panchayat Samiti with 69, and electricity distributor MSEDCL with 46.

Then came Q1 of 2026. From January to March alone, 183 more cases were registered and 262 persons booked. The pipeline has not slowed down even slightly.

During investigation, Ahire claimed part of the money was meant for the son of a city corporator.

The Pattern No One Wants to Talk About

Look at who is getting caught. Police officers. Revenue officials. Municipal corporation staff. School board administrators. Road engineers. RTO checkpost officers. BMC health inspectors. This is not one rotten apple. This is the whole orchard.

The ACB has 8 ranges covering every district in Maharashtra — Mumbai, Thane, Nashik, Pune, Amravati, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Nanded. All of them are busy. The ACB's own press release page in 2026 has FIRs from Pune, Jalgaon, Nashik, Nagpur, Dhule, Nandurbar, Kolhapur, Solapur, Beed, Dharashiv, Chandrapur, Ahilyanagar and more. Not a single region is clean.

And remember — these are only the cases where citizens refused to pay and had the courage to go to the ACB. For every arrest, how many people just paid up and went home? 10? 50? Nobody knows.

208 government officials across 20 departments who have already been booked in corruption cases are still not suspended as of Q1 2026. They are still sitting in their chairs. Still signing files. Still answering phones.

Drop your district below. Has anyone personally been asked for a bribe at a government office in Maharashtra? RTO, collector office, municipal corporation, school, ration office — any of it. This thread is the place.

TL;DR: Maharashtra sees nearly 2 bribery arrests every single day. 669 cases in 2025. 183 in just the first 3 months of 2026. Police, revenue, PWD, BMC, education board — nobody is clean. ACB is catching them but 208 already-arrested officials have not even been suspended yet.
