Green activist Zoru Bhathena, who has also been part of the Aarey Conservation Group, has claimed that only Rs 70 crore were spent on the Metro 3 car depot work in Aarey Milk Colony, while former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had claimed that Rs 400 crore were spent on it. The information was revealed via an RTI query filed by environmentalist Stalin D.

Talking to mid-day, Bhathena alleged, "The information that our group member and environmentalist Stalin D received from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) through an RTI query has exposed Devendra Fadnavis."
