ED's eye on Raut's close friends
At the same time, the Enforcement Directorate is trying to trace Raut's contacts after arresting him in the Patra Chawl scam and money laundering case. Especially what is the relationship between Praveen Raut, Sujit Patkar, and Raut's wife Varsha Raut with each other, investigation is going on. In this sequence, the ED raided two places in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Sources say that the ED raided the Bandra office of Dewan Builders and another in Bandra itself in the National Herald case. ED officials are trying to find out how the money was transferred to the bank accounts of Sanjay Raut and his wife Varsha Raut. It is alleged that Praveen Raut had transferred Rs 1.6 crore to the account of Sanjay Raut and his relatives.
Patra Chawl scam worth 1039.79 crores
In 2007, an agreement was signed by the society between Maharashtra Housing Development Authority (MHADA) and Guru Construction Company for the redevelopment of houses of 672 families on 47 acres of land at Patra Chawl in Siddharth Nagar, Goregaon, Mumbai's western suburb. Under this agreement, the company was to make more than three and a half thousand flats and give them to MHADA. After that, the remaining land was to be sold to private developers. Rakesh Wadhawan, Sarang Wadhawan, Praveen Raut, and Guru Ashish of DHIL were the directors of this company. It is alleged that the company misled MHADA and deposited Rs 901 crore by selling the FSI of Patra Chawl to 9 different builders. After that Rs 138 crore was collected in the name of flat booking by starting a new project called Meadows. But 672 people were not given their houses. In this way, a scam of Rs 1039.79 crore happened in the Patra Chawl scam. After that in 2018, MHADA filed an FIR against Guru Construction Company.
Sanjay Raut's connection of Patra Chawl
Praveen Raut, who was the director of Guru Construction Company, is close to Sanjay Raut. Praveen was arrested by the ED in February 2022. It is said that Praveen earned Rs 95 crore from the Patra Chawl scam and distributed that money to his relatives and friends. Out of this, 55 lakh rupees had come into the account of Sanjay Raut's wife Varsha Raut. With this amount, Raut bought a flat in Dadar. ED has already questioned Varsha Raut. Varsha had told that he had taken this money from Madhuri, wife of Praveen Raut, to buy the flat. After interrogation by ED, Varsha transferred the money to Madhuri's account.
