Sanjay Raut will appear before the Enforcement Directorate office on Friday in connection with a money laundering case after the investigating agency declined his request to provide some extra time for his appearance. The Shiv Sena leader on Friday appealed to party workers not to gather at ED office as he is set to appear before the probe agency at 12 noon today.
“I will be appearing bfore the ED tody at 12 noon. I respect the Summons issued to me and it’s my duty to co-operate with the Investigation agencies. Don’t worry !” Raut said.
The ED had sent him a second summons to appear before July 1. He failed to appear in his first summon on Monday due to the then political crisis in Maharashtra.
Sanjay Raut is being probed in connection with the re-development of Mumbai’s Patra Chawl. His lawyer had sought 13-14 days time to present the documents in front of the probe agency. However, the request was declined by the Agency.
Referring to Uddhav Thackeray’s resignation from the post of the Chief Minister on Wednesday evening, he said that Shiv Sena will work and come to power “on our own once again”.
