MUMBAI: Special Enforcement Directorate Court has remanded Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate till August 4. The authority arrested the parliamentarian on Sunday after searches for over nine hours at his Bhandup residence regarding the redevelopment of a chawl project in a northern suburb of Mumbai.
Today, Special Judge MG Deshpande while partly allowing ED’s plea, said everything is already documented and even the money trail in the account of MP Sanjay Raut and his wife can be obtained. Thus, such long custody for 8 days is “not warranted.” The Court also took care of his health conditions and accepts his applications seeking medicines, home-cooked food, and legal consultation.
