Private aircraft, speedboat, 3 sedans at HDIL bosses' Alibaug 22-room abode

MUMBAI: Another private aircraft belonging to HDIL director Sarang, alias Sunny, Wadhawan was among a slew of assets attached on Monday. Also, the process to attach a bungalow in coastal Alibaug is going on. It is here that Sarang hosted his Bollywood friends, said sources. Besides, three sedans, including an Audi, three terrain motorbikes, a speedboat, two golf carts have been found at the bungalow.

A stack of group photographs of Sarang with his clique of friends from the film world is what officials stumbled upon at the bungalow.

Sources said that they got a whiff of the second aircraft, a Phalcon, sometime last week after they had seized the first plane, a nine-seater Bombardier Challenger-300. This aircraft was registered in the name of Privilege Airways Private Limited, a company in which Sarang and his father Rakesh are directors. "While examining the first one, we got to know about the other," said the source.


The swank bungalow, which is spread over 2.5 acres, has 22 rooms, the source added. "There were sports bikes and golf carts too parked on the premises," said the source. "A speedboat was moored close to the bungalow... It is possible that the Wadhawans got this small jetty constructed. Now, it is for the local authority to examine the illegality around these constructions."

In a related development, Sarang's wife Anu and his mother were called to the probe agency's offices at Ballard Estate where their statements were recorded, according to the sources.

Sarang and Anu were the toast of B-Town and were popular among the swish set for the parties they threw, the sources said, adding that celebrity magazines featured them as a glam couple.

Last week, jewellery worth Rs 60 crore, including a diamond ring valued at Rs 15 crore, had been attached. This jewellery had been shifted to a relative's house to pre-empt it from being attached, said sources, adding that they are now trying to trace Wadhawan's other movable assets.
