SENA (UBT) LEADER PARAB'S AIDE STARTS DEMOLISHING 'ILLEGAL' PORTION OF RESORT UNDER ED LENS

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab’s associate Sadanand Kadam has started the demolition of the alleged unauthorised portion of a resort in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri following an assurance given to the Bombay High Court, officials said on Wednesday.

The Enforcement Directorate has been conducting a probe into an alleged money laundering case connected to the construction of the Sai Resort at Dapoli in coastal Ratnagiri district. The work of demolition of the resort’s third floor started on Tuesday and will go on for next three-four days, a senior police official said.

Kadam, who had been arrested in the money laundering case and later granted bail, recently assured the Bombay High Court that he will demolish excess and unauthorised portion, allegedly constructed in violation of norms, at his own expenses.

In January last year, the ED attached the Sai Resort, valued at more than Rs 10 crore, as part of a money laundering probe against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former state minister Anil Parab and others.
