Somaiya’s NGO received funds from companies probed by Central agencies, says Sena leader

Targeting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya for extorting money under the guise of donations, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that the money has come from companies under the scanner of Central agencies.

On Tuesday, Mr. Raut alleged that an NGO named ‘Yuvak Pratishthan’ controlled by the Somaiyas received funds from Motilal Oswal, a stock broking company and a financial services firm, which was quizzed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to ₹5,600 crore National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) scam.

“Mr. Somaiya took lakhs of rupees in donation from Motilal Oswal in 2018-19 for his Yuvak Pratishthan,” said Mr. Raut, continuing his attack on the BJP leader. Mr. Somaiya has been accusing the Sena leaders of financial fraud and claiming that many of the party leaders will be jailed soon.
