Tightening its noose around Haryana former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and 32 others, the special CBI court has ordered framing of charges against the accused in the multi-crore Manesar land scam case.
They have been accused of corruption, criminal conspiracy and cheating in the said case by the CBI at its special court in Panchkula. The alleged scam pertains to purchase of land from the farmers at low prices and then releasing the same to big builders and colonisers for huge profits.
The two-time former chief minister Hooda, who is now the leader of opposition in Haryana vidhan sabha, has been facing the case along with others for allegedly benefiting private builders by allowing land acquisition proceedings in Gurugram villages, namely Manesar, Naurangpur and Lakhnoula areas in 2004, to lapse.
