BHOPAL: In a major action, Madhya Pradesh state economic offences wing (EOW) has registered an FIR against the trustee, other office bearers of city’s renowned charitable trust – Jeev Sewa Sansthan (JSS) – for allegedly causing a huge loss of revenue to the state government in connivance with officials of registrar office through land deals using funds received as donation from foreign countries for educational institutes and other social services.
Officers believe that this case would emerge as a major scam since this is an old trust and some members had been involved in procuring lands in the guise of social activities and selling it to builders for commercial uses at rates far below than its actual market value.
