Mumbai, Aug 22 (IANS) A Special PMLA Court has extended the judicial custody of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut till September 5 in the alleged money-laundering case arising out of the Patra Chawl land scam, here on Monday.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had raided Raut's home on July 31 and then arrested him early on August 1, preceded by attachment of properties belonging to him and his business associates.
After his ED custody twice for four days each, the agency said they no longer needed him for custodial probe, and accordingly Raut was shunted to judicial custody on August 8, and a few days later his wife Varsha was also interrogated in the same case.
Raut was nabbed after his name cropped up in the ED probe accusing him of receiving proceeds of the crime from the Patra Chawl redevelopment project in Goregaon from another co-accused and associate Pravin Raut.
