Rohit Pawar, NCP MLA and grandnephew of party leader Sharad Pawar, appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) over money laundering investigation in connection with Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam. This marked his second appearance before the ED within the span of 10 days.

Accompanied by family members, the 38-year-old MLA from Karjat-Jamkhed arrived at the ED’s Ballard Estate office in South Mumbai at 1:05 pm on Thursday. Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar’s wife, Pratibha Pawar, remained at the nearby NCP office as Rohit Pawar faced the ED’s queries.

Amidst his appearance, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and daughter Supriya Sule were away in New Delhi for parliamentary proceedings.

The Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank money laundering case stems from an August 2019 FIR by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing.

The ED conducted searches on January 5 on the of Baramati Agro, a company owned by Rohit Pawar, and some linked entities on in Baramati, Pune, Aurangabad and some other locations.

The case was filed after the Bombay High Court issued an order to investigate the allegations of selling sugar factories in the Maharashtra cooperative sector through alleged fraudulent means and also that they were sold at throwaway prices.
