Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut’s wife Varsha appeared ahead of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday, in connection with a dollars laundering case. She was anticipated to go to the agency workplace on Tuesday but to forestall a show of strength by Shiv Sainiks who would have gathered there otherwise, she did so a single day ahead of. She reached the ED workplace in Ballard Estate at noon and left following becoming questioned for about 3-and-a-half hours. Varsha Raut was summoned by the agency
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is mentioned to have intervened and foiled the attempts of a section of Shiv Sainiks to throng the ED workplace when Varsha Raut appeared. Thackeray had reportedly told senior party leaders to maintain their cool as such a mobilisation would give the BJP an chance to hold the Shiv Sena accountable for exerting stress on the central investigating agency.
