MUMBAI: Former Maharashtra revenue minister Eknath Khadse had generated Rs 50 lakh tainted money and layered it before routing it to his wife’s bank account for the purchase of controversial MIDC land fraudulently, said the chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate against him recently.
Khadse was revenue minister in 2016, when he helped his wife Mandakini and son-in-law Girish Chaudhari purchase a government plot after manipulating the record.
In the chargesheet, the ED also made sub-registrar Ravindra Mule one of the accused. He had helped Khadse’s kin reduce the market value of the land in government record from Rs 23 crore to Rs 3.7 crore. The ED also accused Khadse of “layering Rs 50 lakh, received from various sources, including Rs 15 lakh cash, from his bank account to that of his wife, claiming as untainted and finally utilised Rs 38 lakh to purchase the MIDC land.”
Khadse’s kin spent a total Rs 5.53 crore for the land transaction. Of the total expenses, Mandakini raised Rs 2.38 crore (Rs 2 crore she got from a shell company, Benchmark Buildcon Pvt Ltd, as an unsecured loan and Rs 38 lakh of Rs 50 lakh that she received from Khadse).
