ED searches Sanjay Rauts residence in Mumbai; MP tweets will die but wont quit Sena #IndiaNEWS #National
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Sunday conducted a search at Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Rauts residence in Mumbai in connection with a money laundering case, an official said.
The action follows two summonses issued by the ED against Raut, the latest being July 27.
Raut was summoned for questioning by the ED in a money laundering case linked to the alleged irregularities in the re-development of a Mumbai chawl and related transactions involving his wife and associates.
He had appeared before the agency in Mumbai to record his statement on July 1 in connection with the case. After that, the ED had summoned him twice, but he had skipped the summonses citing his engagement with the ongoing Parliament session.
At 7 am on Sunday, ED officials, accompanied by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, reached Rauts Maitri bungalow located in suburban Bhandup, and began the search.
The Rajya Sabha member, who is in the Uddhav Thackeray camp of the Shiv Sena, had denied any wrongdoing and alleged that he was being targeted due to political vendetta.
I swear by late Balasabheb Thackeray that I have nothing to do with any scam, Raut tweeted shortly after the ED action began.
I will die but wont leave Shiv Sena, Raut added.
During the ED search, a large number of Shiv Sena supporters gathered outside Rauts residence and staged protests against the agencys action. Holding safron flags and banners in their hands, the Sena MPs supporters also raised slogans against the ED.
Raut waved at his supporters from the window of his house.
At the ED office located in Ballard Estate area of south Mumbai, a large number of police have been deployed, an official said.
Roads leading to the agency office have been kept shut for vehicles and barricades have been placed, he said.
