Team Uddhav Leader Questioned For 7 Hours Over Alleged Withdrawal Of Party Fund

He entered the EOW office at the Mumbai Police headquarters in south Mumbai at around 10.45 am.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Desai was on Tuesday quizzed for about seven hours by the Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing conducting a preliminary enquiry into the alleged withdrawal of Rs 50 crore from the party fund by the Uddhav Thackeray faction, officials said.

The EOW launched PE on a complaint by a functionary of Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde claiming that Thackeray-led Sena allegedly withdrew Rs 50 crore from the party fund even after the Election Commission declared the Shinde faction as the real Shiv Sena.

Mr Desai appeared before the EOW on behalf of his party.
