Damania’s complaint pointing out that in the first five months of 2016, Mandakini Khadse’s account with IDBI bank was credited with Rs3.84 crore, while Khadse’s account in the same bank was credited with Rs1.41 crore. The minister’s family had paid stamp duty of Rs1.37 crore on the Bhosari plot and this can be tracked from Mandakini Khadse’s account. There is a clear link between the transactions and the purchase of the Bhosari plot. Damania has filed a petition in the High Court against Khadse over a slew of alleged irregularities including the sale of the Bhosari plot. He later told the Zoting Commission that he was not aware of this land deal until it came to light in the media.
