Tightening its noose, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned former Maharashtra PWD minister and NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal on March 14 in connection with its probe into the money laundering case registered against him and others in Maharashtra Sadan and Kalina land grabbing case. His son Pankaj and newphew Sameer were summoned last month in connection with the same case.
The Enforcement Directorate is expected to record his statement in the case under
Prevention of Money Laundering Act and Foreign Exchange Management Act (PMLA). The development comes almost a month after Bhujbal's nephew Sameer was arrested in the case under PMLA. He is currently lodged in high-security Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.
The ED also questioned Bhujbal’s son Pankaj last month. The agency has filed two FIRs against Bhujbals and others in Maharashtra Sadan construction scam and the Kalina land grabbing case.
