"There are some government guests at Ajit's home, but I'm not worried by them," said Sharad Pawar, chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), while speaking about the raids by the Income Tax (I-T) department on registered addresses of businesses and homes of Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Ajit Pawar and others in his family.
On Thursday, 7 October, the I-T department conducted raids in Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur at the premises of various business persons and close family members of Ajit Pawar, who is an NCP leader.
The raids, which continued through Friday, saw the I-T department search addresses related to Ajit's three sisters and his son Parth Pawar, across the cities of Pune, Nandurbar, Kolhapur and Satara.
