Sanjay Raut alleges ED officials extorting money with BJP leaders, vows to expose illegalities when in power.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday (September 29, 2024) alleged some Enforcement Directorate officials were extorting huge sums of money from people in connivance with BJP leaders and asserted these illegalities will be exposed when his party comes to power.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Raut further alleged Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis knows about those indulging in such illegalities.
"One Jitu Navlani, who was employed as an agent of the ED, was involved in extorting money. Our MVA government pursued legal action against him. It is believed he had the support of both the ED and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis," Mr. Raut alleged.
