Sources in the ED later said the leader may be taken to its zonal office by 2 PM, and that Raut was not cooperating as needed with the agency.
An Enforcement Directorate team arrived at Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut’s residence in Mumbai on Sunday.
The ED was looking into Raut in connection with a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities in the redevelopment of a Mumbai ‘chawl’.
Sources in the ED later said the leader may be taken to its zonal office by 2 PM, and that Raut was not cooperating as needed with the agency.
Raut was previously summoned by the investigation agency on July 20 in the Patra Chawl land scam case, which he skipped and informed his lawyers that due to the ongoing Parliament session, he could only appear after August 7.
On July 1, he recorded his statement for the first time. In the case, the ED had attached Raut’s properties in Dadar and Alibag.
The agency wants to question Sanjay Raut about his “business and other links” with Pravin Raut, as well as about his wife’s property deals, sources said, adding that the leader may be taken to the ED office later. Whether or not there will be an arrest shall be determined, they added.
Sources also added that ED officials aren’t allowing anybody in the Raut family to speak on the phone. They said documents are being sought by the team, and that the family has not been informed about the next course of action.
Amid the developments, Raut has stated that it is a false case made up of false evidence. He said that he and the Shiv Sena will continue to fight this.
