  • The Jalgaon housing scam, sometimes called the Jalgaon Gharkul scam (Marathi: जळगाव घरकुल घोटाळा), refers to a financial scam that took place in the city of Jalgaon in Maharashtra, India, involving the illicit diverting of approximately ₹110 crore in loaned public municipal funds, that were earmarked for a 1996-initiated project for the building of over 11,000 units of subsidized housing to benefit the area's rural poor population, and to reduce the prevalence of slums. The incident is considered the largest known scam in the history of North Maharashtra. The scam was discovered and exposed by then Municipal commissioner of Jalgaon, Pravin Gedam, who filed a police complaint against Khandesh Builders with respect to the irregularities he saw after that company was awarded the housing contract. The main accused in the case were Shivsena minister, Suresh Jain, and Legislative Assembly member, Gulabrao Devkar. Following a seven-year investigation by Jalgaon police, Jain and 47 other participants in the fraud were convicted of a variety of criminal charges. (en)
