Releasing documents related to the case at a media conference in Hubballi on May 13, Mr. Hiremath said that a study team of National Committee for Protection of Natural Resources (NCPNR) and Jan Sangram Parishat (JSP) unearthed documents pertaining to a case of land grab (of 27.25 acres) allegedly by creating fake documents involving the Transport Minister.
