CBI raids on Dadra & Nagar Haveli MP in DA case-ToI-25.2.12


New Delhi: The CBI on Friday carried out searches at the premises of BJP MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Natubhai Gomanbhai Patel, in connection with a disproportionate assets case. 
    A first time Member of Parliament, Patel allegedly amassed disproportionate assets of Rs 2.18 crore in nine years during when he was a member of Silvassa Group Gram Panchayat, member of Interim Council of Silvassa Municipal Area and member of Municipal Council. The CBI claimed the MP had amassed this wealth from 2001 to 2009.
 
    The agency carried out searches at his South Avenue residence in Delhi as well as at his house in Silvassa early on Friday.
 
    CBI officials said they had recovered several incriminating documents relating to possession of movable and immovable assets from the raided premises and more searches were being carried out.
 
    Officials said they would question Patel, also a member of the standing committee on home affairs, after scrutiny of the seized documents. “He allegedly misused his position while being posted on different levels in Silvassa before becoming an MP and made ill-gotten wealth,” a CBI officer said.
