Controversy
Last year, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Ravindra Waikar for allegedly usurping a government land at Aarey Milk Colony, misleading the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and obtaining permission fraudulently between January and July 2021 to construct a luxury hotel on a plot along Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road earmarked for sports and entertainment purposes.
About the incident Waikar told a Marathi publication- “After being falsely implicated, I was left with only two options, either to go to jail or switch parties… It was with a heavy heart that I switched sides… when my wife’s name was also included (in this case), I had no choice left…”
