Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut granted bail in money laundering case

Shiv sena leader Sanjay Raut has been granted bail by a special PMLA court in Mumbai in money laundering case related to the Patra Chawl redevelopment project. The court has rejected the plea by Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the bail. The court has also granted bail to Raut’s co-accused Pravin Raut.  A bail bond of Rs 2 lakh has been imposed by the court for each.  

Earlier, additional solicitor general Anil Singh appearing for ED had sought a stay on the execution of bail order for a while so that ED could prepare certain grounds to appeal in the higher court. However, the court rejected ED’s plea to seek a stay. The defence while opposing the plea, said that the session court does not have the power to stay the order.   

Sena leader Raut was arrested by ED in a money laundering case connected to Goregaon’s Patra Chawl redevelopment project and his is in the custody in Arthur Road prison.
