MUMBAI: Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recorded statement of builder Sudhakar Shetty on Tuesday, in connection of a money laundering case they are investigating against late drug smuggler Iqbal Memon alias Mirchi and DHFL promoters.Sources stated that the ED inquired with Shetty about Rs 3,000 crore that was diverted into four shadow companies controlled by him from Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd (DHFL). They are questioning him about the further diversion of the money that his four shadow companies received. Earlier, the ED had raided Shetty's premises and collected digital records of his companies and their financial transactions with DHFL for examination.Shetty, who once owned the infamous Deepa dance bar at Vile Parle (West), entered the construction business over a decade ago under the name Sahana Group and is presently developing several big-ticket projects in the city in partnership with prominent builders.It is alleged that the promoters—Kapil Wadhawan and his brother Dheeraj Wadhawan aka Baba Dewan-- siphoned off over Rs 12,700 crore from DHFL through 79 shadow companies, four of them controlled by Shetty. Wadhawan brothers fabricated the DHFL record after showing that the money was given as loan to over 1 lakh fictitious account holders.The ED found that Wadhawan brothers had bought three buildings from Mirchi in 2010 through their front company Sunblink for Rs 111 crore. Baba paid Rs 154 crore more to Mirchi, abroad, through his company in Dubai. The ED suspects that the Wadhawans paid more and had used the siphoned off money to clear the remaining payment due to Mirchi.
