The Bombay High Court directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to Shiv Sena member Suraj Chavan’s plea challenging his arrest related to a khichdi supply scam. Ordered to appear on November 14, Chavan argues his arrest violated his rights and lacked proper legal justification, claiming speculative accusations without credible evidence.
Today(on 15th March),The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary Suraj Chavan for the COVID-19 khichdi distribution scam, alleging money laundering of relief funds. Chavan diverted substantial sums into personal and associated accounts, totaling Rs. 1.35 crore, misappropriating funds meant for pandemic relief. Chavan remains in custody since his arrest on January 17.
