Land bought cheap from farmers and sold to the government for a hefty compensation: That's how the land scam in Hoshiyarpur -- where a highway project is on -- allegedly worked. The Parkash Singh Badal government has ordered probe into the matter, but the opposition is not satisfied. The locals allege that it is the leaders of Mr Badal's party - the Shiromani Akali Dal - who operated the scam with the help of government officials.
