This is Prakash Sawant, who makes a living by putting up a small rental shop near Patra Chawl. For 60 years, they lived in Patra Chawl. Years ago they were also hopeful of getting a new house, but Patra Chawl scam shattered their dreams.

Victims hold MHADA responsible

Ever since the project of Patra Chawl became a victim of scam and the investigation agencies tightened the noose on its accused, the problems of about 670 residents of Patra Chawl who were expected to get a house here increased. According to the people of Patra Chawl, MHADA and its corrupt officials are responsible for their years of homelessness. Out of 47 acres of Patra Chawl land, about 13 acres was allotted by MHADA to the residents.

On which about 670 families were to get houses, but the officials of MHADA and the existing society rigged it and construction of houses for the residents was started on only four and a half acres of land. Which are lying incomplete from the year 2008 till today. Whereas the rest of the land which was allotted to the builders by MHADA, today big towers have been erected there.

Tighten the noose on Sanjay Raut

Let us tell you that when the case of Patra Chawl came under the purview of the investigating agencies and its sword hanged on Sanjay Raut, in the month of February, NCP chief Sharad Pawar organized a program near Patra Chawl and also met the victims. After this, MHADA also started some work on the closed project, due to which people seem unhappy.

Today the Patra Chawl scam case has reached such a point that Sanjay Raut, a very close aide of Shiv Sena veteran, Uddha Thackeray, has also been arrested by the ED in this case. In fact, in the year 2007, Guruashish Construction, which is the sister company of HDIL, was given the task of developing Patra Chaal on behalf of MHADA. Guruashish Construction had to make 672 flats to the people living there and give about 3000 flats to MHADA. This land was of 47 acres, where the people living there and after giving it to MHADA, they could sell the rest of the land by building a house and selling it themselves.

one accused already arrested

It is alleged that Guruashish Construction did not do any development there nor gave flats to MHADA, but instead sold the entire land and FSI 8 builder for Rs 1,034 crore. ED registered ECIR in this case on 1 February and raided a total of 7 locations of Praveen Raut and his associate Sujit Patkar. After this, Praveen Raut was arrested on 2 February.

ED reached Sanjay Raut like this

Praveen Raut is considered a friend of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut, the name of Praveen Raut also came in the PMC scam, which is under investigation. During investigation, it was found that Rs 55 lakh was sent from Praveen Raut’s wife Madhuri’s bank to Sanjay Raut’s wife Varsha’s bank account which was used by the Raut family to take a flat in Dadar. The statement of Varsha and Madhuri has also been recorded in this case. Sujit Patkar and Sanjay Raut’s daughter are partners in a wine trading firm. Patkar’s wife and Sanjay Raut’s wife have bought land in partnership in Alibaug (that flat in Alibaug is also on ED’s radar). The same investigation of ED reached Sanjay Raut’s grave and he was arrested.
