The attached assets include 11 flats in Thane at a residential project that belongs to a firm owned and controlled by Uddhav Thackeray's brother-in-law Shridhar Madhav Patankar.
Eleven residential apartments worth Rs 6.45 crore in Maharashtra’s Thane, linked to a firm allegedly owned and controlled by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s brother-in-law Shridhar Madhav Patankar, were attached by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday in a money laundering case, officials told India Today TV.
The attachment has been made in connection with a money laundering case against Pushpak Bullion, one of the companies of the Pushpak Group which had allegedly given Rs 30 crore as unsecured loans to Shridhar Madhav Patankar’s firm Shree Saibaba Grihanirmiti Private Limited during the demonetization drive in November 2016.

The Enforcement Directorate had filed a money laundering case against Pushpak Bullion and other group companies on March 6, 2017, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
