The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday morning, 25 May, conducted raids at seven locations in Pune and Mumbai linked to Maharashtra Transport Minister Anil Parab, including his official residence.
The searches are being carried out as part of a money laundering probe against the Shiv Sena leader and others over alleged discrepancies in a land deal in the coastal Dapoli area, news agency PTI reported, citing officials.
The ED has filed a fresh case in the matter under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Parab had allegedly bought a portion of land in Ratnagiri district's Dapoli in 2017 for a consideration of Rs 1 crore, but the deal was registered in 2019, as per a PTI report.
