Uddhav Thackeray’s Brother-In-Law Laundered ₹29.62 Cr: Kirit Somaiya

Mumbai: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray’s brother-in-law Shridhar Patankar has laundered ₹29.62 crores through a company, BJP leader and former MP Kirit Somaiya said.

Speaking to media persons, Somaiya said, “Shreeji Homes, along with one of their partners Sridhar Patankar, are involved in money laundering of Rs 29.62 crore. The company has constructed a building at Dadar’s Shivaji Park. The other partners in Shreeji include two companies and all the black money related to Thackeray’s family has been parked in Shreeji Homes.”

“Uddhav Thackeray should reply to these new facts that have emerged,” he added.

Somaiya said that the hawala operator Nandkishore Chaturvedi, wanted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in several money laundering cases, is not being traced. He sought a reply from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government on Chaturvedi’s whereabouts as to why he is still not officially declared “absconding”.

Earlier, Somaiya had alleged that Chaturvedi was involved in financial dealings with Aaditya Thackeray and Tejas Thackeray and helped Sridhar Patankar in hiding black money.

“I have lodged complaints with the ED and the Income Tax department in Delhi and Mumbai on Chaturvedi going missing,” said Somaiya.
