Hello
In a day of massive political developments, Ajit Pawar was sworn in as deputy chief minister in the Eknath Shinde government along with several of his colleagues.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said a detailed probe will be carried out and action will be taken.
Raut was arrested on August 1 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the money laundering case related to a housing project in suburban Goregaon.
The court allowed Raut's plea for home food and medicines, but refused to pass an order on his prayer for bedding.
The Rajya Sabha MP, who is in the Uddhav Thackeray camp, had denied any wrongdoing and alleged that he was being targeted due to political vendetta.
Heavy police force was deployed outside the central agency's office as a large number of Shiv Sena workers were present at the spot.
The lawyer reached the ED's office here around 11.15 am and submitted a letter to the agency officials, requesting time for the parliamentarian to appear before it.
The development comes as the Shiv Sena party battles rebellion from a group of its MLAs, putting a question mark on the future of Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
Shinde is currently camping with 37 rebel MLAs of the Sena and nine independents in a Guwahati hotel.
Sena MP Sanjay Raut says he will continue as CM, brushes off reports that Sharad Pawar suggested making Shinde CM to save coalition.
