NCP leader Mahesh Tapase spoke to India Today on Sanjay Raut’s arrest and said, “This is all a preset agenda at the behest of BJP.” Meanwhile, Congress accused BJP of misusing the central agency.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut at midnight after questioning for over six hours in the Patra Chawl land scam case. However, Raut claimed he is innocent and is being framed. MP Sanjay Raut said there was a conspiracy going on to weaken Shiv Sena and Maharashtra.
Raut was earlier summoned by the probe agency on July 20, which he skipped and informed through his lawyers that due to the ongoing Parliament session, he could appear only after August 7. He had recorded his statement once on July 1. The ED had attached Raut’s properties in Dadar and Alibag in the case.
