Mumbai: Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut got a big relief. Yes, he has been granted bail by the PMLA court. According to the information received, the court has also granted bail to Praveen Raut along with Sanjay Raut. In fact, Sanjay Raut was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the month of August in the Patra Chawl land scam. Let us tell you that the Patra Chawl land scam is worth Rs 1,039 crores and in this scam, ED had registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). At the same time, after this, the ED had also seized Rs 11.5 lakh in the search of Sanjay Raut's house and in this case, in April, the ED also attached properties worth Rs 11.15 crore of Raut's wife Varsha Raut and their close friends.

What is the matter- In fact, in the year 2018, the Maharashtra Housing and Development Authority (MHADA) registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The case was against Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan, Sarang Kumar Wadhawan and others. ED says that during the investigation it came to light that Guru Ashish Construction had got the task of redeveloping Patra Chawl. The work was entrusted to him by MHADA and under this, the construction company was to redevelop the houses of 672 tenants in Patra Chawl. Let us tell you that Patra Chawl is built in Goregaon, Mumbai and the area on which these flats were to be redeveloped was 47 acres.

On the other hand, Guru Ashish Construction misled MHADA and sold this land to 9 builders without constructing a flat. This earned them Rs 901.79 crore. After that Guru Ashish Construction started a project called Meadows and raised Rs 138 crore for the flat from home buyers. In the end, it came to the investigation that Guru Ashish Construction illegally earned more than Rs 1,039.79 crore. However, later he illegally transferred this amount to his associates. Guru Ashish Construction Private Limited is the sister company of Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL).

Rakesh Wadhawan, Sarang Wadhawan and Praveen Raut were also directors in HDIL. On the other hand, according to the ED, the investigation revealed that HDIL had deposited about Rs 100 crore in Praveen Raut's account. Later this money was sent by Praveen Raut from different bank accounts to his close friends, family members and business institutions. Apart from this, it was also revealed in the investigation that in 2010, Praveen Raut's wife Madhuri had transferred Rs 83 lakh to the account of Sanjay Raut's wife Varsha Raut. This money was earned illegally. With this amount, Varsha Raut bought a flat in Dadar.
