March 17, 2016 10:07

NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal will be produced before a Special PMLA court in a case of money laundering filed against him in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam.

Former Maharashtra PWD Minister Bhujbal is in the custody of Enforcement Directorate until today in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam case.

Bhujbal, who broke down in the court at one point while presenting his side, claimed that he was innocent.

"I have cooperated (with ED). I have been in social service for the past fifty years. When some questions were put to me (by ED), I honestly said I did not know but still I was arrested," he had said.

He said he did not grant the contract in question (Maharashtra Sadan guest-house in Delhi) and only followed the directions of the then Chief Minister (the late) Vilasrao Deshmukh to attend meetings (related to the project), he added.
