As part of a money laundering investigation into the alleged Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank fraud, the Enforcement Directorate raided the offices of Baramati Agro, a business owned by MLA Rohit Pawar, the grand nephew of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, and related organizations on Friday, according to official sources.
According to them, searches are being conducted at least six places in Baramati, Pune, Aurangabad, and Amravati.
Additionally included is the Baramati Agro office located in Baramati town.
An August 2019 FIR from the Mumbai Police Economic Offenses (EOW) branch is the source of the money laundering case.
The Bombay High Court had ordered on August 22, that year, to look into claims that sugar mills in the Maharashtra cooperative sector were sold at thowaway rates and that they were sold via illegal ways. This prompted the police to file a case.
