Housing society scam: CBI likely to question Ashok Chavan
The CBI is likely to question former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in connection with his alleged role in the housing society scam in Mumbai.
The CBI, which had on 15th November registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) in the scam, is likely to question Chavan, other state government officials and the 103 members of the Adarsh Housing Society "in due course of time".
Chavan's three relatives, including his late mother-in-law and sister-in-law, own flats in the 31-storey building in Colaba in south Mumbai.
After his name cropped up in connection with the housing society scam, Chavan had to resign as Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
The housing society, built on prime defence land, was constructed in alleged violation of various rules and regulations.
The building was originally meant to be a six-storey structure but was later extended to 31 floors.
