The Enforcement Directorate on Monday produced Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut before a special sessions court after his arrest in Mumbai early this morning in connection with a money laundering case linked to irregularities involving the redevelopment of a chawl in Mumbai.

Raut was taken for a medical test at the JJ hospital before being produced before the court.

ED officials raided the Shiv Sena leader's home on Sunday, and after detaining and questioning him for several hours, arrested him in the early hours today.

Raut is a close aide of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Prior to his arrest, Sanjay Raut's brother said yesterday: "Sanjay Raut has been arrested. BJP is afraid of him and got him arrested. They haven't given us any document (regarding his arrest). He has been framed."
