Pritam Patil, the son of former Karnataka Congress minister Veer Kumar Patil, is now under scrutiny for allegedly booking rooms at the Heritage Resort for Rajendra Hagavane and two associates. According to sources, the resort booking was made under the pretense of wedding guests. Rajendra Hagawane and Sushil arrived at the resort late at night on 19th May and checked out on 21st May.
During their stay, Rajendra Hagawane and his associates reportedly left the resort during the day, returning only to sleep. Preitam Patil is said to have arranged meals for all during their stay at the resort. The former minister, Veer Kumar Patil, has distanced himself from the incident, stating that he had no prior knowledge about the accused and only facilitated the booking unaware of any wrongdoing.
The friendship between Rajendra Hagawane and Pritam Patil reportedly developed through their mutual interest in horse breeding. This connection led to Pritam arranging the resort stay for Rajendra and his associates during their period on the run. Notably, Rajendra Hagawane changed vehicles three times within a week while traveling between Pune, Satara, and the Maharashtra-Karnataka border region.
A critical question remains regarding why Rajendra Hagavane was not arrested on 17th May when he visited the hospital in Aundh district. This lapse has drawn attention to possible oversights in the ongoing investigation. The involvement of a former minister's son in such a high-profile case has added a new layer of complexity and public interest.
