Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently filed a charge sheet against the builder in the court Shailesh Savla And his two companies – Kunal Construction And Savla Construction – To sell flats to influential people in a project meant for slum dwellers.
This is one of the oldest pending money laundering cases registered by the ED after the enactment of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA-2005).
In 2006, Savla proposed two buildings in the Juhu Taj Society to rehabilitate 133 slum dwellers. However, Savla, in connivance with BMC and SRA officials, manipulated the plan to build huge flats for sale to affluent people. Savla was developing a plot on 10th Road in Juhu under the SRA scheme.
Bollywood celebrities, retired army officers and a retired DGP Maharashtra are among many others who bought flats in buildings masquerading as slum dwellers. Most were wrongly shown as poor Mazdoor Nagar slum dwellers.
It has been said that the ED did not investigate the flat buyers and did not record their statement as they walked out of the project after the money laundering case was registered.
