Sanjay Raut: Sanjay Raut refuses to appear before ED, says - I will participate in the proceedings of Parliament now

Posted on 20th Jul 2022 by rohit kumar

The Enforcement Directorate has once again summoned Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut for questioning in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the redevelopment of a crawl in Mumbai and financial transactions involving his wife and alleged associates. At the same time, the ED questioned Sujit Patkar, a close aide of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut, for more than nine hours on Tuesday in the Patra rice land scam case. Officials gave this information.

 

Raut sought exemption in appearance from ED

 

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that Parliament is in session right now, so there is a need for relaxation in appearance. I will be in Delhi for the time being.

 

MP Raut called the allegation baselessly

 

Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP from the Uddhav Thackeray camp, had denied any wrongdoing and alleged that he was being targeted for political vendetta. Raut has been asked to appear before the agency's regional office in Mumbai.

 

He was questioned in this case on July 1 and spent nearly 10 hours with the investigating officer. During this, his statement was recorded under criminal sections of PMLA. While leaving, Raut told reporters that I gave full cooperation and answered all their questions. If they call me, I will be back again. He said that he was fearless during this period as he has not done anything wrong in life.

 

He has been questioned at a time when the Shiv Sena has been torn apart due to the rebellion. Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is on one side and current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is on the other. There is a tussle between the two over the party's symbol and control of the organization.
