Mumbai: Developer Yusuf Lakdawala was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on Thursday in connection with the land grab case of Khandala.

Lakdawala was arrested on a lookout notice notice issued by Mumbai Economic Offences Wing (EOW) at Ahmedabad airport while he was flying to London for treatment in April 2019.

Lakdawala and his associate, Mohan R Nair, were booked on the complaint of Jitendra Badgujar, sub-registrar of Maval taluka, for allegedly usurping 4.38 acres of a plot of land, belonging to an erstwhile Hyderabad Nawab, in Khandala.

Since the alleged crime had occurred at the office of sub-registrar office at the Old Customs House at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai, the first information report was lodged by MRA Marg police on April 4 and the case was then later transferred to the EOW for further investigation.
