Shiv Sena leader Suraj Chavan granted bail in 'khichdi scam' money laundering case.

The Bombay High Court granted bail to Shiv Sena leader Suraj Chavan, who was arrested in January 2024 on charges of money laundering linked to a 'khichdi scam' during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Enforcement Directorate accused Chavan of diverting funds meant for distributing food packets to migrant workers. Despite opposition from the ED, the court granted bail, citing Chavan's right under Article 21 of the Constitution. Chavan must pay Rs 1 lakh bail and not leave Maharashtra without permission.
