Awhad brought to notice via Twitter that one of the land owners had approached him regarding the Yeoor matter which made the politician connect with Borse for necessary action. However, the NCP leader quoted Borse and said "There was pressure from MLA Pratap Sarnaik." But when Awhad reached out to Sarnaik, it was noted that Sarnaik and Borse are not in taking terms and have allegedly not discussed over the respective case.

Having termed Sachin Borse "corrupt", he further continued to slam the official and point out that he is often spotted "sitting in the hotel drinking alcohol at night..."

"If the activities are being done illegally in Thane, by bullying, grabbing land, scaring people, with the help of municipal officials. So then to whom to ask for justice (sic)," Awhad further questioned in his tweet.
