India today accessed the arrest memorandum of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday midnight after over six hours of questioning in the Rs 1,034 crore Patra Chawl land scam case.
The investigating officer has alleged in the arrest memo that, “Based on the material with me, there is reason to believe that Sanjay Rajaram Raut is guilty of an offense punishable under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.”
Sanjay Raut was arrested under sub-section (1) of section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Before the arrest, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was informed about the grounds of arrest.
ED will seek further custody of Sanjay Raut on three main grounds:
1. Sanjay Raut remained uncooperative during interrogation
2. Transaction details reveal that Sanjay Raut is a beneficiary of the crime and is involved in money laundering
3. Sanjay Raut helped prime accused Praveen Raut in money laundering
ED seized Rs 11.50 lakh from Sanjay Raut’s residence during raids conducted on Sunday in Patra rice land scam case.
After the medical test, Raut will be produced before the PMLA court on Monday afternoon.
The agency wants to know from Sanjay Raut about his “business and other relationships” with Praveen Raut and Patkar, and property deals involving his wife.
