ED raids Anil Parab residence: 'BJP using central govt agencies against opposition', says Raut

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday reacted over searches conducted by Enforcement Directorate involving Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena leader Anil Parab. He said, "We're in support of Anil Parab. BJP is using central government agencies against the opposition. This is just a conspiracy to defame the Maharashtra government."

Enforcement Directorate conducting raids at seven locations in Pune and Mumbai linked to Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena leader Anil Parab after the agency filed a case under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The raids were carried at Parab's official as well as a private residence. In September 2021, Parab appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai for questioning in connection with the bribery and money laundering case against the former home minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh.
