A Pune Magistrate Court has mandated the Pune Police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against Subodh Runwal, Managing Director of Runwal Group, and several others in connection with a land dispute in Viman Nagar, Pune. The court's directive follows allegations of cheating, forgery, criminal trespass, conspiracy, and organized crime related to a 3.93-hectare land parcel. The order was issued on May 16, 2026, under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), after the court found that a prima facie case had been established. The magistrate criticized the police for failing to act on previous complaints, despite having received supporting documents and recorded statements. The land in question was originally acquired by late Satish Mittal through Wonder Properties, which later entered into a joint venture with Runwal Developers. Allegations suggest that following Mittal's death in January 2016, forged documents were created to transfer rights unlawfully. The court has also noted that the investigation will run parallel to ongoing civil and arbitration proceedings regarding the land.
