Government is currently saddled with 600 hectares of land acquired for building highways, now lying idle as projects have become unviable, officials say.
From showing inflated number of trees to leaking information about land acquisition, accused used all tactics to extract as much as compensation that could be drawn from govt.
Houses of Punjab excise commissioner Varun Roojam, Firozepur deputy commissioner Rajesh Dhiman & alleged kingpin Bhupinder Singh were among those searched. Dhiman was detained.
According to FIR, Jasmeen Kaur, other accused illegally bought land to be acquired by govt, in order to get compensation much higher than original cost. IAS Rajesh Dhiman denies allegations.
