ED searches house of Nagpur lawyer who filed petitions against Devendra Fadnavis

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday conducted searches at the house of a lawyer who filed several petitions against senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis in the last few years.

The Central agency began searching Nagpur-based lawyer Satish Uke's house around 6 a.m., and searches were also being conducted to probe land transactions.

Mr. Uke is infamous for being charged with criminal contempt by the Bombay High Court on two occasions. In February 2017, the Nagpur Bench of the High Court had directed him to forfeit ₹1 lakh of the ₹2 lakh he had deposited in a criminal contempt case.
