The Enforcement Directorate has summoned senior NCP chief and MLA Hasan Mushrif for questioning in a money laundering investigation being performed in opposition to him and others, officers stated Saturday.
The politician has been requested to depose earlier than the federal probe company in Mumbai subsequent week in order that his statements might be recorded below the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they stated. The ED had performed searches at a number of premises linked to him in January. Some contemporary searches have been performed over the previous couple of days in Kolhapur and another places.
The money laundering case is linked to a probe associated to alleged irregularities in the operations of some sugar mills primarily based in the state which can be related to Mushrif, together with the Sar Senapati Santaji Ghorpade Sugar Factory Ltd to which his three sons are linked.
Mushrif (68) is a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA from the Kagal seat in Kolhapur. He can also be the vice chairman of the occasion headed by Sharad Pawar. BJP chief Kirit Somiaya had in 2021 alleged that the previous rural improvement minister (Mushrif) indulged in corrupt practices by holding ‘benami’ entities by means of his members of the family and corporations. The NCP had then dismissed these prices.
