Late last night, Koli’s daughter, Sanika Patil, allegedly caught leaders from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction red-handed in what she claims was a clandestine “Cash for Votes” distribution meeting. Must Watch: Why This Is Trending Viral Video: Allegations of Cash Distribution in Worli (News18 Marathi) The Midnight Raid: What Happened? Around 11:45 PM, acting on a tip-off, Sanika Patil and her supporters stormed a residence in Worli Koliwada. The Accusation: Patil explicitly names Harish Worlikar (Up-vibhag Pramukh) and Sanskriti Sawant (Mahila Shakha Pramukh) of the UBT faction. She claims nearly 40-50 people were gathered in a locked room. The Panic: Viral videos circulating on social media show chaotic scenes. When Patil’s group arrived, people were seen hiding their faces, fleeing the spot on scooters, and frantically locking doors. The “Flush” Theory: In a sensational allegation, Patil claims that once the leaders realized they were trapped, they retreated into the bathroom and flushed the cash down the toilet to destroy the evidence before the police could seize it. The “Whistle” vs. The “Torch”: A Bitter Rivalry The political symbolism here is impossible to ignore. Suryakant Koli is fighting on the Whistle (Shitti) symbol, representing a wake-up call to the system. By exposing this alleged midnight operation, his camp claims they are fulfilling that promise—blowing the whistle on corruption. Old Grudges and New Proof The drama didn’t stop at cash allegations. UBT supporters reportedly countered by digging up an old rape case against Suryakant Koli to discredit him. The Rebuttal: Sanika Patil immediately hit back, displaying Forensic Reports and police documents on camera. She stated that her father had been falsely implicated in a politically motivated case years ago and asserted his innocence with documentary proof, turning the table back on her accusers. Ground Report: Locals Discuss the Controversy (South Mumbai News) The Verdict? While the police have not yet confirmed the recovery of cash (possibly due to the alleged flushing), the visual of UBT leaders fleeing and hiding their faces has already done its damage. In the high-stakes battle for Worli, the “Whistle” has certainly sounded the alarm. Connect with Newspatron Get the latest Mumbai election updates directly on your phone.
