Shiv Sena UBT MLA Ravindra Waikar finally appears before Enforcement Directorate in money laundering case
As per the FIR, Waikar had entered into a contract with the BMC after getting permission to run a sports facility at the plot in Jogeshwari. The permission was granted when the Maha Vikas Aghadi government was in power. In early 2023, a notice was issued to him for using a plot of land reserved for a public garden to construct a hotel.
Sources said his lawyer has sought more time from the central agency on health grounds. However, the agency has not granted any relief to the MLA and may soon issue a third summons to him, sources said.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has also summoned Waikar's wife Manisha to remain present before the EOW officials on Wednesday.
Last month Waikar and the other accused were booked for criminal breach of trust, cheating, dishonestly inducing delivery of property and criminal conspiracy.
