After the ED arrested Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in a money laundering case, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ram Kadam on Monday took a dig at him, saying it was "divine punishment".

Ram Kadam tweeted, "Ukhar Diya, Batao, Ye Kisne Kisko Kaha Tha? Isliye Kahawat Hain. Chingari Khel Bada Bura Hota Hain....Auro Ke Gharo mein Aag Lagane Ka Sapna...Khud Ke Hi Ghar Mein Khada Hota Hain.. Ye Ishwariya Dand Hain....Naye Badle Huye Bharat ke Kanoon Tatha Shashakt Loktantra Ke Takaat hain. (Now Tell, Who told this to whom, That's why they say, It not good to play with fire, Those who dream to set other people's house on fire, finds himself standing in his own house. This is divine punishment...This is New India's New Law...The power of democracy)."

Raut, 60, was arrested after over six hours of questioning at the ED's zonal office in south Mumbai's Ballard Estate.

The Rajya Sabha MP of the Shiv Sena led by former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, will be produced before a special PMLA court in Mumbai later in the day, where the ED will seek his custody.
