{{main | Robert Vadra DLF land grab scam | Gurugram Rajiv Gandhi Trust land grab scam }}
On 17 September 2015, the [[Central Bureau of Investigation]] (CBI) registered a [[First Information Report]] under various sections of the [[Indian Penal Code]] relating to forgery, cheating and criminal conspiracy. These were in connection with alleged irregularities involving land acquisitions at IMT Manesar.<ref name=chor2/> Subsequently, in 2018, the former Haryana Chief Minister, [[Bhupinder Singh Hooda]], together with real estate companies, officials of the state government's department of town and country planning and bureaucrats who worked with Hooda while he was Chief Minister were charged. The scam had allegedly resulted in a 15 billion INR loss to farmers in Manesar and the adjoining villages of Naurangpur and Lakhnoula whose land, amounting to {{cvt|400|acre|ha}}, had been threatened with government purchase for "public purpose". Faced with the threat of government acquisition, farmers sold at knock-down prices, averaging 25 percent of market value, to real estate developers. The Hooda government then released the land from the acquisition threat, thus favouring the developers.<ref name=chor2>{{cite news |last=Sura |first=Ajay |date=2 February 2018 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/manesar-land-scam-former-haryana-cm-bhupinder-singh-hooda-chargesheeted/articleshow/62755290.cms |title=Manesar land scam: Ex-Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda chargesheeted
