Shiv Sena national spokesperson Sanjay Raut was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate late on Sunday night after a 9-hour-long search by the ED concerning a money-laundering case.
The raids were carried out after the Shiv Sena MP skipped the central probe agency’s summons twice. The ED will produce Mr Sanjay Raut, 60, in a special PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court on Monday.
The arrest is likely to trigger strong reactions from the opposition, which has accused the misuse of central probe agencies by the BJP.
