Mumbai: In a major action, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut’s wife Varsha Raut for questioning in connection with the PMC Bank fraud case, officials said Sunday.
A senior ED official wishing not to be named told IANS: “We have asked Varsha Raut to appear before the agency December 29 in connection with the case.”
The official said that she has been asked to appear at its Mumbai office.
The official said that earlier, the financial probe agency has summoned her to appear December 11, but she did not turn up.
