I have become more dangerous now, says Sanjay Raut after ED's action against wife, 'aide'

The ED attached property worth Rs 9 crore related to Sanjay Raut’s 'aide' Pravin Raut and assets worth around Rs 2 crore belonging to Sanjay Raut’s wife Varsha in the Rs 1,034-crore Patra Chawl land scam case.

After the Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached the properties of his 'aide' and wife, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut asserted that he has the support of Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray.

The ED on Tuesday attached assets worth over Rs 11 crore belonging to Sanjay Raut's wife and his alleged close aide Pravin Raut under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The financial probe agency was investigating a case around the alleged irregularities in a redevelopment project in Mumbai's Goregaon suburb - the Patra Chawl scam.

Speaking to India Today TV, a defiant Sanjay Raut said, "I have become more dangerous now. I have spoken with Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray, and they are all with me."

"What the ED has attached is my ancestral home, not some property worth crores," he alleged.

Pravin Raut is also being investigated in the PMC bank loan fraud case. The ED had attached his properties, worth Rs 72.65 crore, in the case.
