Amid Maharashtra crisis, ED summons Sanjay Raut in land scam case

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday in connection with the Pravin Raut and Patra Chawl land scam case amid the Maharashtra political crisis. Some of his properties had been attached by ED earlier.

Team Thackeray has been saying that the mutiny led by Eknath Shinde is a result of "pressure of ED, CBI and other agencies" under the BJP-led central government.

The summons to Mr Raut are in connection with the Rs 1,034-crore Patra Chawl land scam case, in which the ED attached his properties in April. Mr Raut had said then, "I am not the one who will get scared. Seize my property, shoot me, or send me to jail, Sanjay Raut is Balasaheb Thackeray's follower and a Shiv Sainik."

Reacting to the summons, Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi said the ED was showing "true bhakti" towards BJP.
