More trouble for Sanjay Raut as the special court on Monday has extended the judicial custody of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut till September 5, in connection with a money laundering case.
Earlier, the court had sent Raut to judicial custody till August 22. The Enforcement Directorate arrested the 60-year-old Sena leader in connection with the Patra Chawl land fraud case.
Raut was arrested on July 31 by the investigation agency and was in ED’s custody till August 8 by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court.
ED found cash worth over ten lakh rupees from his residence on the day he was detained. However, his brother said that the money belonged to the party.
