The BJP leader said Bhujbal and his family owns a building named 'Le Petite Fleur'in Khar area of Mumbai and that the building is among the numerous benami properties of the Bhujbal family.

He constructed the building under the name of his shell company 'Parvesh Construction'. His family stays in the same building. Income Tax Department has already attached this property on Benami Property Act and filed prosecution at Mumbai's Session court. I want to ask Chhagan Bhujbal under which capacity his family is staying in this building."
"On paper, it belongs to Parvesh Construction Pvt Ltd. The two personal assistants of Chhagan Bhujbal, Satyam Kesarkar and Nimish Bendre are the directors of the company. The shell companies' operators have accepted that the shell companies are owned by Bhujbals. This Benami property is owned by him. I wish the hearing on this matter soon starts at session court and Bhujbal is sentenced to 7 years imprisonment," stated the former BJP MP.

La Petite Fleur Building ( Solitaire Building) 15 Convent Avenue, Near Flower Academy, Off SV Road, Santacruz (W) Mumbai.
