Mumbai, June 30: Sanjay Raut, the leader of the Shiv Sena said today that he would appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office tomorrow after the investigative agency turned down his request for further time to appear in a money laundering case.
Following his failure to appear in person for his first summons on Monday due to the Maharashtra political situation at the time, the Enforcement Directorate issued him a second summons to appear before July 1.
It is noteworthy that Raut is under investigation in relation to the redevelopment of Mumbai’s Patra Chawl. His lawyer had requested 13–14 days to provide the documents to the investigation agency, but the Agency denied the request.
“I will be going to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office tomorrow,” said Sanjay Raut while speaking to the media.
Notably, Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on June 28, in connection with Patra Chawl land scam case. Earlier, in the Rs 1,034 crore Patra Chawl land scam case, the ED had also attached assets worth Rs 2 crore from Sanjay Raut’s wife Varsha and Rs 9 crore in value from his ‘aide’ Pravin Raut.
