ED's
Startling
Revelation
In
Sachin
Sawant's
Case:
In
a
sensational
development,
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
has
revealed
startling
details
about
the
case
against
IRS
officer
Sachin
Sawant,
who
was
apprehended
on
charges
of
amassing
wealth
disproportionate
to
his
known
sources
of
income.
According
to
the
ED's
charge
sheet,
Sawant
allegedly
gifted
a
gold
necklace
valued
at
Rs
1.75
lakh
to
renowned
actress
Navya
Nair,
referring
to
her
as
his
'girlfriend'.
The
charge
sheet
further
discloses
that
Sawant
frequently
traveled
from
Mumbai
to
Kochi
to
meet
Navya
Nair
and,
on
at
least
one
occasion,
presented
her
with
the
extravagant
gold
necklace
as
a
gift,
according
to
a
statement
provided
by
his
driver.
The
ED's
investigation
has
uncovered
illegal
assets
amounting
to
a
staggering
Rs
4.11
crore
linked
to
Sawant.
Out
of
this
total,
Rs
2.5
crore
is
purportedly
in
the
name
of
his
family,
while
the
ED
alleges
that
he
engaged
in
benami
transactions
under
the
guise
of
his
driver's
name.
It
is
reported
that
the
ill-gotten
gains
were
strategically
invested
in
the
businesses
of
close
relatives
and
friends,
masquerading
as
salary
payments.
However,
Sawant's
legal
team
vehemently
denies
these
allegations,
asserting
that
all
assets
in
his
name
are
accounted
for
and
challenging
the
authenticity
of
the
ED's
charge
sheet.
Family's
Response:
Navya
Nair's
Connection
With
Sachin
Sawant
Under
Scrutiny
In
response
to
the
unfolding
investigation,
Navya
Nair's
family
has
issued
a
statement
clarifying
their
relationship
with
Sachin
Sawant.
They
emphatically
assert
that
their
connection
with
Sawant
is
purely
neighbourly
and
deny
any
receipt
of
gifts
from
him,
except
for
occasional
birthday
presents
for
Navya's
son.
Highlighting
the
nature
of
their
association,
the
family
underscores
their
shared
residency
in
the
same
housing
society
and
their
willingness
to
assist
Sawant
during
his
visits
to
Guruvayur.
This
statement
from
the
family
comes
in
light
of
the
ED's
ongoing
inquiry
into
Navya
Nair's
connection
with
the
embattled
IRS
officer.
Navya
Nair,
a
prominent
figure
in
Indian
cinema,
has
amassed
numerous
accolades
in
her
career,
including
two
Kerala
State
Film
Awards
for
Best
Actress,
Filmfare
Awards
South
for
Best
Actress
in
Malayalam,
and
the
prestigious
Kalaimamani
Award,
recognising
her
outstanding
contributions
to
Tamil
cinema.
