MUMBAI, Nov. 7 -- The Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has initiated proceedings to attach four flats allegedly purchased using proceeds of crime by Purushottam Chavan, the former husband of IPS officer Rashmi Karandikar. Chavan has been under arrest for over a year in multiple real estate fraud cases and is currently lodged in jail following arrests by both the EOW and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). According to EOW officials, the four flats are located in a housing project developed by Dosti Realty in Thane. Investigators claim the properties were bought in the names of Chavan's relatives during the period when he allegedly defrauded several homebuyers. "We have begun the process of attaching the four flats under section 107 of BNSS, which pertains to attachment and forfeiture of properties suspected to be derived from criminal activity," an EOW officer said. A petition has also been filed before the court seeking formal attachment orders. The agency is also examining financial transactions between Chavan and Karandikar. Investigators have told the court that around Rs.2.64 crore was transferred from Chavan's account to Karandikar's account between 2017 and 2018. The police claim Karandikar did not report this transfer as required under service rules, which mandate government officers to declare investments exceeding six months of their basic salary....
