He was grilled for 11 plus hours yesterday during which he was confronted with documents and statements of key players. Patel was shown the statement of Iqbal Mirchi's right-hand man Humayun Merchant and brother-in-law Mushtaq Memon.
Both have recorded their statement under PMLA section 50 and explained how Mirchi had usurped properties in Mumbai particularly in South Mumbai.
