CBI Files Four Chargesheets in Manesar Land Case, Names M3M Promoter

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed four chargesheets in the Manesar land case, naming M3M Group promoter Roop Bansal as an accused, according to The Times of India.

The chargesheets were filed on 6 November 2026 before a special CBI court in Panchkula. The court has set 11 December as the next hearing date, the newspaper reported.

Being named in a chargesheet does not establish guilt. The allegations remain subject to the legal process.

The land acquisition at the centre of the case

The CBI’s original case concerns land in the Manesar, Naurangpur and Lakhnoula villages of Gurugram district.

In August 2004, the Haryana government issued a notification to acquire approximately 912 acres for an industrial model township. The CBI alleges that landowners were pressured to sell at low prices because of the threat of acquisition.

The agency further alleges that, after private builders acquired substantial portions of the land, the acquisition proceedings were allowed to lapse. An order releasing the land from acquisition followed in August 2007.

A long-running case

The CBI filed an earlier chargesheet in 2018. In January 2026, the special court framed charges against several accused individuals and companies, according to the newspaper. It also reported that proceedings involving former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and certain former bureaucrats remained affected by Supreme Court stays.

The new chargesheets add another development to a case that has continued for years. Their specific contents and any response from those newly named were not independently reviewed for this article.

What happens next?

The immediate development to watch is the reported 11 December hearing and any orders that follow. The public reporting reviewed does not establish that a particular housing project or buyer’s property is affected.
