Khichdi scam: ED issues fresh summons to Uddhav Sena LS candidate

March 29, 2024 15:19

The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to Shiv Sena- Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray Lok Sabha candidate Amol Kirtikar for questioning in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in distribution of 'khichdi' to migrants during the COVID-19 period, official sources said Friday.

Kirtikar has been asked to depose before the federal agency here on April 8.

He was first asked to appear on March 27, the day his party announced his name for contesting the polls from the Mumbai North-West seat.

His legal team had sought deferment of the summons the last time citing his official engagements.

Amol Kirtikar's father and senior politician Gajanan Kirtikar is now with the Eknath Shinde (Maharashtra chief minister) faction of the Shiv Sena and also the incumbent MP from the said seat.

The agency, according to sources, wants to question Amol Kirtikar with regard to certain financial transactions that took place in the alleged 'khichdi' scam. -- PTI
