Bombay High Court grants bail to former Maharashtra Dy CM Chhagan Bhujbal in the money laundering case. Bhujbal (71) sought bail after the Supreme Court last December.
Bhujbal had moved a bail
application before the high court after the special Prevention of Money
Laundering Act PMLA Court rejected his bail application in December
2017. Bhujbal has been in custody for two years while the maximum
punishment under which he will be tried is seven years.
According to the ED, the total amount of money
laundered by Bhujbal was Rs 857 crore, while the ED has attached property
worth Rs 156 crore so far.
