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)
