The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached two immovable properties worth Rs 31.50 crore belonging to developers entrusted with the redevelopment of Patra chawl in Goregaon. The assets are lands in Goa held by Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan and his son Sarang Kumar Wadhawan, directors of Guru Ashish Construction Pvt Ltd (GAPL) that was to undertake the project, said officers.
The ED initiated the investigation under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on an FIR registered by Mumbai police’s economic offences wing (EOW). The FIR was filed against GAPL, Rakesh, Sarang and other directors on the complaint of the executive engineer (Mumbai) of MHADA. A tripartite agreement was signed between the society, MHADA and GAPL, according to which the developer was to provide flats to 672 tenants, build units for MHADA and sell the remaining area.
