CBI will question all the 103 members of the Adarsh housing society
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to question former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in connection with the Adarsh Housing Society scam.

The CBI, which had on November 15 registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) in the scam

CBI officials on Nov 16 met Maharashtra chief secretary JP Dange and asked him to submit all essential documents and papers regarding the housing scam as soon as possible.

Still CBI has not filed the First Information Report in this scam.
This will happen only after filing of FIR.

In Next 1 or 2 weeks it is expected that CBI will file the FIR regarding this scam.

The FIR would be against personnel from the defence and state government (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

As per media reports CBI would examine whether Ashok Chavan signed a letter recommending 40 per cent allotment of flats to civilians in the Adarsh Housing Society. When he was Revenue Minister.
Also, if the occupancy certificate (OC) was issued to the society when he was the Chief Minister.

The CBI would also question Chavan on the flats owned in the society by his mother- in-law, sister- in- law and one more relative, on whether he knew about the purchase deals and if he was aware of the correspondence they had with the society.

These members would be questioned on the income tax details submitted by them while purchasing flats, on when and how they bought them and on their correspondence with the society and departments of the state government
