ED summons Sena minister who ordered Narayan Rane’s arrest
The ED notice came days after a viral video showed Parab purportedly asking the Ratnagiri police to arrest Union minister Narayan Rane without waiting for an arrest warrant.
Shiv Sena minister and a close aide of chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, Anil Parab, received a notice from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday in connection with the money laundering case registered against former state minister Anil Deshmukh.
The ED notice came days after a viral video showed Parab purportedly asking the Ratnagiri police to arrest Union minister Narayan Rane without waiting for an arrest warrant. The ED has asked Parab to depose before the investigating officer of the case at the agency’s office in south Mumbai on Tuesday.
Reacting to the summon, Shiv Sena MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut said the ED notice to Mr Parab was “expected” and the party would fight it legally.
“Well done. As soon as the Jan Ashirwad Yatra concluded, Anil Parab has been served ED notice as expected. The central government has begun its work. The epicentre of the earthquake was Ratnagiri. (Mr) Parab is the district guardian minister. Understand the chronology. Will fight legal battle legally. Jai Maharashtra,” he tweeted.
