A major land acquisition trail linked to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and his extended family has come under scrutiny following an investigation. The report claims that members of the Yadav family and companies associated with them acquired at least 168 acres of land spread across 137 plots in and around Ujjain over the past two years.
According to the report, the purchases are estimated to be worth around ₹45 crore. Several of these properties are located in areas that were later included in major government infrastructure projects, road alignments, and proposals under the Ujjain Master Plan 2035.
Extensive Family Ownership Detailed
The investigation names several members of the Chief Minister’s family, including his wife Seema Yadav, son Vaibhav Yadav, daughter-in-law Shalini Yadav, brothers Narayan and Nandlal Yadav, sister Kalavati Yadav, nephew Abhay Yadav, and cousins Govind and Nilesh Yadav.
The report states that Mohan Yadav personally owns around 17 acres of land in Ujjain, including property purchased in Sawarakhedi and inherited assets. It also notes that he and his wife together hold a 73 percent stake in Shri Siddhivinayak Devcons Pvt Ltd, a family-linked real estate company that reportedly owns nearly 40 acres of land.
Family members are also said to have acquired significant land holdings in recent years. Vaibhav Yadav allegedly purchased around 16 acres, while Shalini Yadav reportedly acquired more than 10 acres in 2025. Narayan Yadav, Nandlal Yadav and Kalavati Yadav are also linked to substantial land purchases across multiple locations in Ujjain.
Role of Family-Linked Companies
The report highlights the involvement of several companies connected to members of the Yadav family. Shri Siddhivinayak Devcons Pvt Ltd reportedly purchased additional land during 2024 and 2025.
Other firms mentioned include Shri Annapurna Construction, Shree Annapurna Enterprises, Shrivenktesh Devbuild LLP, and Mangalmurti Infra. These companies are alleged to have purchased multiple plots in areas that later gained strategic importance due to development plans and infrastructure projects.
One purchase that has drawn attention is Mangalmurti Infra’s acquisition of around 20 acres in Sawarakhedi shortly before the announcement of the Ujjain Master Plan.
Timing of Purchases Raises Questions
A key aspect of the investigation is the timing of several acquisitions. The report claims that many purchases were made in locations that subsequently witnessed road expansion projects, land-use changes, or infrastructure announcements, potentially increasing property values.
Critics have questioned whether family-linked entities benefited from knowledge of upcoming development plans. However, no official finding has yet established any wrongdoing.
