Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut took to Twitter on Monday to allege that Kirit Somaiya is among the beneficiaries of the multi-crore Punjab & Maharashtra Co-operative (PMC) Bank scam.
“Rakesh Wadhvan is the mastermind of PMC Bank Scam. In 2015-16, 4.15cr rupees were deposited in Devendra Ladhani’s account by Wadhvan. Ladhani is Kirit Somaiya‘s partner. So, Kirit is the beneficiary of the PMC Bank scam,” Sanjay Raut wrote on Twitter with the caption: “chronology samajhiye”.
Sanjay Raut also asked why the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had not yet arrested Kirit Somaiya’s wife and son in connection with the PMC Bank scam.
Earlier on Saturday, Sanjay Raut had alleged that a top ED official had made ‘benami’ investments in a Rs 260-crore project in Maharashtra’s Palghar. The Shiv Sena leader went further to allege that Kirit Somaiya’s son and wife are directors of the same project.
Company’s balance sheet open to scrutiny: Kirit Somaiya
Responding to charges levelled against him in connection with the PMC Bank, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya said he was never a beneficiary of the multi-crore scam.
“The balance sheet of the said company linked to me is open to be scrutinized. He claims that I bought land worth 437 crores at 100 crores. My father started a business in 1986 and the land was inherited from my father to my mother and then my wife. All this was mentioned in my election affidavit,” Kirit Somaiya said.
