&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI:&lt;/em&gt; Manohar Panse, the driver of BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who was found to be a director on several of Gadkari&#039;s companies, is not alone. Peons, clerks and drivers of leading politicians have become overnight millionaires or secured key assignments in the institutions set up by their employers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
TOI was the first to break the story about Panse being a director in five of Gadkari&#039;s Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL) investor companies and a director in six other companies between 2009 and 2011. TOI&#039;s continuing investigation into the shareholding of PPSL has revealed that Rajesh Khanzode, an employee of Purti&#039;s bakery unit, and Vishnu Sharma, an astrologer from Mumbai, are also directors of two companies with stakes in PPSL. However, Panse is reportedly unaware of the high position he holds in the firms floated or controlled by Gadkari; Khanzode too denied knowing anything about his directorship to TOI. Sharma was away when TOI visited his house but his wife claimed he did not know anything either.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In political and bureaucratic circles, the fact that many politicians use their drivers or peons for benami transactions is well known. &amp;quot;Such transactions are real but everyone knows that the people who make huge investments or are chosen for these important posts cannot possibly do it on their own and are being used,&amp;quot; a senior bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Gadkari&#039;s driver got Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sudhakar Madke and Suresh Atram, a driver and peon working in the firms set up by controversial BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, had bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakh in the controversial Adarsh housing society, claims a senior bureaucrat.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Madke, who had never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer. Atram also secured a loan of Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti. In fact, the MP&#039;s firm extended unsecured loans to 10 persons for buying a flat in Adarsh and secured an undertaking from them, saying that in the event they were unable to repay the loan, the flats would automatically be transferred to the firm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Another case was that of Vishal Kedari, a vegetable vendor from Pune&#039;s cantonment area who, with a monthly income less than Rs 10,000, also bought a flat worth Rs 60 lakh in Adarsh. &amp;quot;Our information is that Madke, Atram and Kedari came to know that were &amp;quot;owners&amp;quot; of the flats only after the Adarsh scam rocked the nation,&amp;quot; the bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
If a former chief secretary is to be believed, there are a large number of leading politicians who use their drivers and peons for conducting their benami transactions. &amp;quot;This needs to be probed at a higher level,&amp;quot; said the bureaucrat. &amp;quot;In certain cases, it has been revealed that drivers or peons of some veteran politicians also head cooperative societies floated by them.&amp;quot;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI:&lt;/em&gt; Manohar Panse, the driver of BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who was found to be a director on several of Gadkari&#039;s companies, is not alone. Peons, clerks and drivers of leading politicians have become overnight millionaires or secured key assignments in the institutions set up by their employers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
TOI was the first to break the story about Panse being a director in five of Gadkari&#039;s Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL) investor companies and a director in six other companies between 2009 and 2011. TOI&#039;s continuing investigation into the shareholding of PPSL has revealed that Rajesh Khanzode, an employee of Purti&#039;s bakery unit, and Vishnu Sharma, an astrologer from Mumbai, are also directors of two companies with stakes in PPSL. However, Panse is reportedly unaware of the high position he holds in the firms floated or controlled by Gadkari; Khanzode too denied knowing anything about his directorship to TOI. Sharma was away when TOI visited his house but his wife claimed he did not know anything either.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In political and bureaucratic circles, the fact that many politicians use their drivers or peons for benami transactions is well known. &amp;quot;Such transactions are real but everyone knows that the people who make huge investments or are chosen for these important posts cannot possibly do it on their own and are being used,&amp;quot; a senior bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Gadkari&#039;s driver got Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sudhakar Madke and Suresh Atram, a driver and peon working in the firms set up by controversial BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, had bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakh in the controversial Adarsh housing society, claims a senior bureaucrat.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Madke, who had never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer. Atram also secured a loan of Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti. In fact, the MP&#039;s firm extended unsecured loans to 10 persons for buying a flat in Adarsh and secured an undertaking from them, saying that in the event they were unable to repay the loan, the flats would automatically be transferred to the firm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Another case was that of Vishal Kedari, a vegetable vendor from Pune&#039;s cantonment area who, with a monthly income less than Rs 10,000, also bought a flat worth Rs 60 lakh in Adarsh. &amp;quot;Our information is that Madke, Atram and Kedari came to know that were &amp;quot;owners&amp;quot; of the flats only after the Adarsh scam rocked the nation,&amp;quot; the bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
If a former chief secretary is to be believed, there are a large number of leading politicians who use their drivers and peons for conducting their benami transactions. &amp;quot;This needs to be probed at a higher level,&amp;quot; said the bureaucrat. &amp;quot;In certain cases, it has been revealed that drivers or peons of some veteran politicians also head cooperative societies floated by them.&amp;quot;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI:&lt;/em&gt; Manohar Panse, the driver of BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who was found to be a director on several of Gadkari&#039;s companies, is not alone. Peons, clerks and drivers of leading politicians have become overnight millionaires or secured key assignments in the institutions set up by their employers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
TOI was the first to break the story about Panse being a director in five of Gadkari&#039;s Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL) investor companies and a director in six other companies between 2009 and 2011. TOI&#039;s continuing investigation into the shareholding of PPSL has revealed that Rajesh Khanzode, an employee of Purti&#039;s bakery unit, and Vishnu Sharma, an astrologer from Mumbai, are also directors of two companies with stakes in PPSL. However, Panse is reportedly unaware of the high position he holds in the firms floated or controlled by Gadkari; Khanzode too denied knowing anything about his directorship to TOI. Sharma was away when TOI visited his house but his wife claimed he did not know anything either.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In political and bureaucratic circles, the fact that many politicians use their drivers or peons for benami transactions is well known. &amp;quot;Such transactions are real but everyone knows that the people who make huge investments or are chosen for these important posts cannot possibly do it on their own and are being used,&amp;quot; a senior bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Gadkari&#039;s driver got Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sudhakar Madke and Suresh Atram, a driver and peon working in the firms set up by controversial BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, had bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakh in the controversial Adarsh housing society, claims a senior bureaucrat.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Madke, who had never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer. Atram also secured a loan of Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti. In fact, the MP&#039;s firm extended unsecured loans to 10 persons for buying a flat in Adarsh and secured an undertaking from them, saying that in the event they were unable to repay the loan, the flats would automatically be transferred to the firm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Another case was that of Vishal Kedari, a vegetable vendor from Pune&#039;s cantonment area who, with a monthly income less than Rs 10,000, also bought a flat worth Rs 60 lakh in Adarsh. &amp;quot;Our information is that Madke, Atram and Kedari came to know that were &amp;quot;owners&amp;quot; of the flats only after the Adarsh scam rocked the nation,&amp;quot; the bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
If a former chief secretary is to be believed, there are a large number of leading politicians who use their drivers and peons for conducting their benami transactions. &amp;quot;This needs to be probed at a higher level,&amp;quot; said the bureaucrat. &amp;quot;In certain cases, it has been revealed that drivers or peons of some veteran politicians also head cooperative societies floated by them.&amp;quot;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI:&lt;/em&gt; Manohar Panse, the driver of BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who was found to be a director on several of Gadkari&#039;s companies, is not alone. Peons, clerks and drivers of leading politicians have become overnight millionaires or secured key assignments in the institutions set up by their employers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
TOI was the first to break the story about Panse being a director in five of Gadkari&#039;s Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL) investor companies and a director in six other companies between 2009 and 2011. TOI&#039;s continuing investigation into the shareholding of PPSL has revealed that Rajesh Khanzode, an employee of Purti&#039;s bakery unit, and Vishnu Sharma, an astrologer from Mumbai, are also directors of two companies with stakes in PPSL. However, Panse is reportedly unaware of the high position he holds in the firms floated or controlled by Gadkari; Khanzode too denied knowing anything about his directorship to TOI. Sharma was away when TOI visited his house but his wife claimed he did not know anything either.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In political and bureaucratic circles, the fact that many politicians use their drivers or peons for benami transactions is well known. &amp;quot;Such transactions are real but everyone knows that the people who make huge investments or are chosen for these important posts cannot possibly do it on their own and are being used,&amp;quot; a senior bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Gadkari&#039;s driver got Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sudhakar Madke and Suresh Atram, a driver and peon working in the firms set up by controversial BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, had bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakh in the controversial Adarsh housing society, claims a senior bureaucrat.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Madke, who had never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer. Atram also secured a loan of Rs 60 lakh from Sancheti. In fact, the MP&#039;s firm extended unsecured loans to 10 persons for buying a flat in Adarsh and secured an undertaking from them, saying that in the event they were unable to repay the loan, the flats would automatically be transferred to the firm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Another case was that of Vishal Kedari, a vegetable vendor from Pune&#039;s cantonment area who, with a monthly income less than Rs 10,000, also bought a flat worth Rs 60 lakh in Adarsh. &amp;quot;Our information is that Madke, Atram and Kedari came to know that were &amp;quot;owners&amp;quot; of the flats only after the Adarsh scam rocked the nation,&amp;quot; the bureaucrat said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
If a former chief secretary is to be believed, there are a large number of leading politicians who use their drivers and peons for conducting their benami transactions. &amp;quot;This needs to be probed at a higher level,&amp;quot; said the bureaucrat. &amp;quot;In certain cases, it has been revealed that drivers or peons of some veteran politicians also head cooperative societies floated by them.&amp;quot;

Sudhakar Madke and Suresh Atram, a driver and peon working in the firms set up by controversial BJP MP Ajay Sancheti, had bought a flat each worth Rs 60 lakh in the controversial Adarsh housing society, claims a senior bureaucrat.

In his deposition before the commission probing the Adarsh scam, Madke, who had never visited Mumbai, submitted that he had been granted an unsecured loan of Rs 60 lakh by his employer.

Drivers are directors in netas’ firms -Prafulla Marapakwar

TOI was the first to break the story about Panse being a director in five of Gadkari's Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL) investor companies and a director in six other companies between 2009 and 2011. TOI's continuing investigation into the shareholding of PPSL has revealed that Rajesh Khanzode, an employee of Purti's bakery unit, and Vishnu Sharma, an astrologer from Mumbai, are also directors of two companies with stakes in PPSL. However, Panse is reportedly unaware of the high position he holds in the firms floated or controlled by Gadkari; Khanzode too denied knowing anything about his directorship to TOI. Sharma was away when TOI visited his house but his wife claimed he did not know anything either. In political and bureaucratic circles, the fact that many politicians use their drivers or peons for benami transactions is well known. "Such transactions are real but everyone knows that the people who make huge investments or are chosen for these important posts cannot possibly do it on their own and are being used," a senior bureaucrat said.
