MSCB scam: NCP chief Sharad Pawar, his nephew Ajit booked by ED
Mumbai, Sept 24 (UNI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money-laundering case against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar, his nephew Ajit Pawar, several other politicians and officials in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam, worth around Rs 25,000 crore, officials said here on Tuesday.
The ED’s move against political bigwigs came after the Bombay high court ordered the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the city police to probe and file cases against the Pawars and others in the matter, setting politicians scurrying.
Following the EOW’s first information report (FIR) in late August, the ED filed its case today.
