ED arrests NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal in money laundering case
New Delhi, Mar 14 (IBNS): The Enforcement Directorate on Monday evening arrested former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal in a money laundering case connected to the Maharashtra Sadan construction scam, media reports said.
The agency arrested him following a 10-hour long question session.
In an interview to NDTV last month, Bhujbal had claimed that the Maharashtra government would not dare arrest him.
The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that the Bhujbals received kickbacks for awarding various government contracts, including the Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi, to the tune of Rs. 870 crore.
The ED said that part f his money was parked abroad and also routed into India through various shell companies located across the country.
