Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its attack on Sanjay Raut a day after his wife Varsha Raut was issued summons by the Enforcement Directorate to join the investigation in the PMC Bank scam case on December 29.
Leading the charge is senior BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, who has attacked Sanjay Raut in a series of tweets. He asked why the Sena leader reacted aggressively when the ED is merely seeking to interrogate his wife in connection with the case.
