MUMBAI: The Enforcement Directorate has issued summons to Varsha Raut, wife of high-profile Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, in connection with a Rs 55-lakh transaction at the Punjab Maharashtra Cooperative Bank between her and an associate.
The move, coming on the back of similar action against BJP-turned-NCP leader Eknath Khadse, has sent shock waves in the ruling MVA coalition comprising Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress.
The ED has asked Varsha to appear before it on December 29 with relevant papers pertaining to her accounts in the PMC Bank, which is under a moratorium. The agency has invoked provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to summon Varsha Raut. The ED is investigating a Rs 4,355 crore scam involving PMC Bank and the Wadhawans of Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd (HDIL) who defaulted on loans.
