The ED has claimed that Sanjay Raut was involved in the Patra Chawl embezzlement of Rs 1039 crore from the beginning. The ED had recently filed a charge sheet in this case. The ED claimed in the chargesheet that Raut was directly involved in the Patra Chawl redevelopment.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday opposed the bail application of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, stating that he has played a major role in the money-laundering case related to Patra Chawl scam case and operated behind curtains.
According to documents accessed by India Today, Raut’s friend and prime accused Pravin Raut generated Rs 112 crore in the entire scam, out of which Rs 1.06 crore was diverted to the Sena leader and his wife Varsha Raut through different methods.
The case in which Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut has been arrested is a Rs 1,000 crore scam in Patra chawl redevelopment project, the Enforcement Directorate has said.
