Manesar-Gurugram land scam

The CBI submitted chargesheet against former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, real estate companies, officials of department of town and country planning Haryana and bureaucrats who worked with Hooda in his office while he was Chief Minister of Haryana, for the Manesar Industrial Model Township land acquisition scam resulting in INR1500 crore (15 billion) to innocent farmers of Manesar and adjoining village in Gurugram district whose land was being at a low rate for "public purpose" but was later licensed to real estate companies after granting out of term favours and concessions. Private builders grabbed 400 acres land from farmers at throwaway sales price based on the threat of acquisition by the government. Once this land was bought by the builders, Hooda government released this land from the acquisition process in the favor of builders instead of the original owners. Market value of this 400 acre land was nearly INR4 crore per acre or total INR1600 crore, which was acquired by the builders at only INR100 crore, causing a loss of INR1500 crore to innocent farmer owners of Manesar, Naurangpur and Lakhnoula villages.[18]

One of the beneficiary of the scam was Hooda's nephew, Sukhwinder, whose company was given change of land use (CLU) permission for 52 acres land for INR57 lakh on the same day the government land acquisition process had lapsed for the want of release of funds, while at the same time CLU was denied to two other applicants [not related to Hooda].[19]

Supreme Court of India cancelled this illegal acquisition and grant of land to the builders under a land acquisition process initiated by the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government. Court directed the CBI to inquire it further and instructed the government to "recover every single pie". Court returned the land to Haryana government. Land would not be returned to the landholders more than the prevailing price. The builders will not be allowed to recover any money they paid to land owners as the deal was done to benefit them and "middlemen".[20]

"The acquisition process was withdrawn with fraudulent intentions after the land was purchased by the private builders in active connivance with state functionaries. The builders and private entities were aware that the acquisition would not go through. The entire acquisition proceedings were initiated with mala fide intention, illegally and in violation of the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act. It was not a mere bonanza or a deal, but denoted quid pro quo."

— Supreme Court of India, [20]

On 17 September 2015, CBI had registered an FIR under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 465 (forgery), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and under section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. After which the premier investigating agency of India, CBI, conducted searches on 24 places to uncover irregularities in the purchase of land from farmers. On 2 Feb 2018, Hooda was chargesheeted by the CBI in the court.[18]
