October 2 reporting by Free Press Journal and PTI records five arrests in a CBI investigation concerning a Mumbai construction-project clearance.

The agency alleges a CPWD engineer sought money through a relative for a certificate disclaiming departmental ownership of land. It reported recovering ₹50 lakh during an October 1 trap.

Three real-estate representatives were also arrested. CBI reported another ₹53.87 lakh during searches. These are investigative allegations; the reviewed reports contain no defence response or judicial finding of guilt.
