Controversy
Baba Siddique was charged under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, after irregularities in a slum redevelopment project, near Bandra Reclamation by the name "Jamaat-e-Jamhooria", by Pyramid Developers.
According to senior Govt officials, the developers sold the plot for 90 Crores to Satra group and both parties agreed to share the flats equally, which they sold for approximately 1800-2000 Crores. Allegedly Mr Siddique had a hand in this due to his decision to increase the Floor Space Index (FSI), when he was the chairman of Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), which is a misuse of power.
