He had last been questioned in the case on July 1 for about 10 hours. The cases is related transactions involving his wife and 'associates', officials said.
The Sena MP from the Rajya Sabha, a close aide of former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, had denied any wrongdoing and alleged that he was being targeted due to political vendetta.
Last time, Raut had described himself as a ‘fearless’ person as he appeared before the ED in the case. “I'm a fearless person because I've never done anything wrong in my life. If at all this is political, we'll get to know that later. Right now, I feel I'm going to a neutral agency, and I trust them completely,” he had said.
