The Enforcement Directorate Special Court extended the custody of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut till August 8. Raut was arrested by ED on Monday for alleged financial irregularities in the redevelopment of Patra 'Chawl.'
The agency had told the court on Monday that Raut and his family received 'Proceeds of crime' worth over Rs one crore generated out of alleged irregularities in the housing redevelopment project.
Hearing the case, the special court ordered, “Certainly facts of investigation demonstrate three stages, and they require further probe, by summoning witnesses and confronting accused. However, I am of the opinion that the same can be done till August 8. Wherein ED can look into all aspects."
The 60-year-old Rajya Sabha member is a close aide of Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray.
