Asgarali Vohra with PMModi
New Delhi: An 81-year-old former schoolmate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought a CBI investigation into a decades-old land dispute in Maharashtra’s Mira-Bhayandar, alleging that builders linked to BJP MLA Narendra Mehta used forged documents to take control of his property.
Asgarali Vohra, who studied with PM Modi at BN School in Gujarat’s Vadnagar, met the Prime Minister on September 8 and submitted a letter detailing his allegations. Vohra claimed that he legally purchased around 2,810 square metres of land at Navghar Road in Bhayandar East through a registered agreement in 1989. According to Vohra, he never sold or transferred the land.
However, he alleged that forged documents were prepared in 2011 in collusion with Swayam Builders and that the property was subsequently divided into two portions without his knowledge.
Vohra alleged that Swayam Builders was shown as being in possession of one portion, while Seven Eleven Constructions was shown as controlling the other. Seven Eleven Constructions is linked to BJP MLA Narendra Mehta. He further alleged that the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation’s Town Planning Department granted construction permission on the disputed land despite his ownership claim.
He has accused officials of the municipal corporation, the Revenue Department and the local police of failing to act against those allegedly involved in fabricating the documents.
Vohra filed an FIR in connection with the alleged forgery in 2015, following which the matter went to court. He claimed, however, that the CID report in the case was submitted only in 2026, nearly 11 years after the FIR was registered.
