ED summons Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut

June 27, 2022 13:04

And so it begins. The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on June 28 in connection with the Patra Chawl land scam case.

Opposition parties have maintained that the Centre has been using agencies like the CBI, ED and Income Tax Department, to crack down against opposition parties. Summons are issued in old cases, raids and searches are conducted and arrests made and new FIRs are registered based on inputs.

The development comes as the Shiv Sena party battles rebellion from a group of its MLAs, putting a question mark on the future of Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.

The ED in April provisionally attached assets worth more than Rs 11.15 crore of Raut's wife Varsha Raut and two of his associates as part of this investigation.
