Money Laundering Case: ED Conducts Raids In Mumbai Against Businessman Sujit Patkar

In connection with a money laundering investigation against businessman Sujit Patkar, the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at 15 sites in Mumbai on Wednesday, an official said.

The official claimed that Patkar and his three associates fraudulently obtained contracts from the Bombay local administration to run COVID-19 field hospitals during the pandemic.

According to IAS officer Sanjeev Jaiswal, the raids were carried out at the homes of several Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) employees and other individuals in relation to the COVID-19 hospital management contracts.

In August of last year, the Azad Maidan police station in this city filed a forgery case against Patkar, Lifeline Hospital Management Services, and his three partners.

The ED had launched a case to look into the money laundering aspect based on the FIR, the official added.

In January of this year, BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal testified before the ED on alleged irregularities in the awarding of contracts for the health facilities during the epidemic.

Sanjay Raut, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), is known to be good friends with Sujit Patkar.
