Mumbai, August 8

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will produce Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, arrested in a money-laundering case, before a special court in Mumbai on Monday.  

The court last Thursday extended Raut’s ED custody till August 8, while noting that the agency had made “remarkable progress” in the probe into the money-laundering case involving the Shiv Sena leader.

The ED had then sought his further custody for eight days, saying it had unearthed a new trail of money.

The Shiv Sena leader was arrested on August 1 in connection with the alleged financial irregularities in the redevelopment of the Patra Chawl in suburban Goregaon.

The documents seized during the probe showed the purchase of properties at Alibaug in neighbouring Raigad district by Raut involved substantial cash transactions, the ED had said.

Sanjay Raut has denied any wrongdoing and called the ED case against him as “false”.
