Praveen Raut is accused of cheating the residents of Patra Chawl and Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) by selling pockets of land to private builders instead of developing them. A deal was made to construct 3000 flats - on a piece of land in Goregaon - out of which 672 were to be given to the Patra Chawl residents.
Raut received 95 crore rupees from Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL), which the ED believes came from the illegal sale of the flats. Raut on the other hand, says that he received the money after he sold HDIL shares in 2010.
Sujit Patkar, a partner of Sanjay Raut's daughters' firm, is also associated with Pravin Raut's Guruashish constructions, a sister company of HDIL constructions.
HDIL has been under the scanner for the Rs 4300 crore Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank scam as well.
