Declared assets of ₹51.95 crore with liabilities of ₹23.21 crore are under serious scrutiny. In October 2021, DVAC registered a disproportionate assets case alleging he acquired ₹27 crore in assets disproportionate to known income during 2016-2021 tenure. Additionally, 2017 IT raids implicated him in alleged ₹89 crore voter bribery scheme. The combination of 'NIL' profession declaration with ₹51+ crore assets and active corruption investigations raises significant red flags.
