India, Nov. 8 -- The controversy surrounding the Rs.300-crore Mundhwa land deal linked to deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar's son, Parth Pawar, deepened on Friday after questions emerged over why Parth's name, who is 99% owner of Amadea Enterprises LLP, did not figure in the two FIRs registered by the Pune Police. The development came even as Ajit Pawar announced that his son Parth had scrapped the deal.

The police have so far named only Digvijay Patil - a close relative and business partner of Parth - along with suspended sub-registrar Ravindra Taru, tehsildar Suryakant Yeole, and power of attorney holder Shital Tejwani.

The two FIRs were filed at Bavdhan and Khadak police stations on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
