The demand was made by former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan (Congress) during the Question Hour in the Lower House. Minister of State for Housing Ravindra Waikar said the government has accepted the demand.
He said a committee headed by then SRA secretary Sitaram Kunte went through 137 suspicious cases and detected irregularities in 33 of them. The alleged irregularities were committed when Patil was the CEO of the SRA, a state-run agency tasked with implementing slum rehabilitation schemes, Waikar said.
Patil has since retired. However, the Kunte committee’s report later went missing, the minister said. Waikar said a file about Patil making his wife a partner in a real estate company to get two flats in a SRA scheme in suburban Juhu had also gone missing.
