Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary Suraj Chavan has appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to record his statement regarding the alleged money laundering link in the COVID centres scam. The federal agency had raided 15 locations in Mumbai last month in connection with this case. Businessman Sujit Patkar, said to be a close aide of Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, has been accused of being involved in the scam.
Chavan reached the ED office in the south of Mumbai at 12:30 pm on Monday, as he was summoned to record his statement. The ED has been investigating the alleged scam for some time, and it appears that multiple people are now being questioned regarding their involvement.
The COVID centres scam has been a major controversy in Mumbai, with allegations of fraud and corruption in the management of the city’s facilities for COVID-19 patients. The situation in Mumbai has been dire, with a high number of cases and deaths due to the virus.
It remains unclear what role Chavan may have played in the alleged scam, and the investigation is ongoing. His appearance before the ED suggests that he may have information that could shed light on the matter.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) has been under fire over its handling of the COVID-19 crisis in Mumbai, with many in the city criticizing the party’s response. The allegations of corruption in the COVID centres only add to the party’s troubles.
It is important to note that everyone involved in this investigation, including Chavan, is innocent until proven guilty. The ED will continue to investigate the matter and gather evidence to determine who is responsible for any wrongdoing.
Overall, the COVID centres scam is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, and it is important for law enforcement agencies to do all they can to uncover the truth. We will continue to keep our readers informed on the latest developments in this case.
