As a part of their raids on Vegetable vendor turned politician Chhagan Bhujbal's residence and offices, the ACB sleuths found on Tuesday that Bhujbal has a 2,000 sq ft flat and a Toyota car at Worli, a 600 sq ft flat in Mazgaon, a 1,200 sq ft mini-theatre in wife Meena's name at Manek Mahal in Churchgate, three floors in the Solitaire building in Santacruz, and a six-bedroom bungalow in Lonavla worth Rs 5 crore which has imported furniture and six service quarters and is built on property spread across 2.82 acres and equipped with a helipad and a huge garden. While this bungalow is in the name of Sameer and Pankaj, the ACB found that there are other bungalows in the name of Meena (in Navi Mumbai) and Pankaj (in Nashik, worth Rs 100 crore, built on 46,500 sq ft of property, with 25 rooms, a huge swimming pool and a gym).

"ACB has recovered all the documents pertaining to these properties and an assessment is in progress. The SIT had found substance in the charges of corruption against Bhujbal and his family members, therefore criminal cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code have been registered," a senior bureaucrat told media.

Director General of Police (ACB) Praveen Dixit said, "Our team is studying the documents and will provide an update once it completes its analysis."

Though the ACB had seized several assets, including jewellery, from the house of ex-PWD official and current information commissioner Deepak Deshpande when its sleuths raided the properties of nine officials last week, only documents were found at Bhujbal's properties. A bureaucrat said, "ACB should have raided Bhujbal's properties at the same time that they carried out searches at the properties of PWD officers. It is possible Bhujbal may have moved his other assets."
