ED Attaches Assets Linked to Suspected Associate of Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached land parcels worth over Rs 73 crore of Pravin Raut, an alleged associate of Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to purported irregularities in the redevelopment of Mumbai's Patra Chawl. The attached properties are located in and around Palghar, Dapoli, Raigad and Thane. Both Sanjay Raut and Pravin Raut were arrested in this case by the ED. The money laundering case stems from a Mumbai Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) FIR involving Guru Ashish Construction Pvt. Ltd., a company in which Pravin Raut was a director. The ED said there had been "significant financial misconduct" while doing this redevelopment.
