The Enforcement Directorate is conducting searches at six locations in Maharashtra, in connection with a Maharashtra Co-operative Bank alleged scam, ANI reported.
Further, one of the locations includes premises of Baramati Agro, a company owned by MLA Rohit Pawar, the grand nephew of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, PTI reported.
The premises of Baramati Agro and linked entities are being searched on December 5 as part of a money laundering probe in the alleged Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam, official sources told PTI.
The six locations include Amravati, Aurangabad, Baramati, and Pune, the sources added.
The money laundering case stems from an August 2019 FIR of the Mumbai Police Economic Offences (EOW) wing.
The police complaint came after the Bombay High Court issued an order on August 22 that year 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.
