Nashik Ring Road Scam: Crores-worth of land purchased using leaked confidential government data? Serious allegations against Ekam Ventures
Nashik – A major land scam has come to light regarding the Nashik Ring Road project. NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) MLA Saroj Ahire has lodged a serious complaint with the Chief Minister, alleging that a director of Ekam Ventures—the company awarded the survey contract—misused confidential government information to purchase land situated along the proposed Ring Road route in advance.
Taking serious note of the complaint, the Chief Minister's Secretariat has ordered an immediate inquiry, and the district administration has constituted a one-member fact-finding committee headed by Resident Deputy Collector Rohitkumar Rajput.
What exactly are the allegations?
Sachin Chintawar, a director of Ekam Ventures (the company awarded the survey and alignment work for the Nashik Ring Road project), misused confidential government information.
Land in the Gaulane area of ??Nashik Taluka was purchased prior to the issuance of the public notification in November 2025.
Initially, this land was not included in the land acquisition list; however, the alignment was subsequently altered to bring 21 *gunthas* of the land into the acquisition zone.
The remaining 88 *gunthas* of land appreciated in value by crores of rupees as they became prime frontage land along the Ring Road.
MLA Saroj Ahire has claimed that this case involves a breach of government regulations, a violation of the code of conduct, and a serious violation of confidentiality obligations. She has demanded that the company be blacklisted and that clear guidelines be formulated to prevent such scams in the future.
Inquiry Process
The committee appointed by the district administration has been directed to investigate the following points:
Was there compliance with the confidentiality clauses in the contract awarded to the company?
The timeline regarding the land purchase and the change in alignment.
The extent of illegal gain resulting from the violation of rules. Attempts to obtain a response from the directors of Ekam Ventures regarding this matter were unsuccessful.
Background
This 66-kilometer ring road project is considered crucial for alleviating traffic congestion in the city, particularly in view of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. However, allegations have previously been raised that the project's alignment was altered to benefit certain select individuals.
This is a developing story; further action will be taken based on the inquiry report.
