In what is construed as a retaliation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday swooped to attach assets belonging to Shiv Sena MP and Chief Spokesperson Sanjay Raut hours after the Maharashtra government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe allegations of corruption against the central probe agency.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday slapped attachment orders on assets worth Rs 11.15 crore belonging to friends and wife of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in a money-laundering case.
A special investigation team (SIT) has been formed to probe Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut's allegations where he claimed that some Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials were involved into an extortion racket along with one Jitendra Navlani.
Making a sensational allegation, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is running extortion rackets in Maharashtra and West Bengal and has become the ATM of the BJP, with activist Kirit Somaiya acting as their collection agent .
