Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut, arrested last month in a money laundering case linked to a housing project in Mumbai, on September 7 moved a bail application before a special court in Mumbai.
His bail plea is likely to come up for hearing before judge M.G. Deshpande, presiding over the special PMLA court, on Thursday.
Mr. Raut, 60, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in early August under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for his alleged role in financial irregularities related to the redevelopment of Patra 'Chawl' (old row tenements) in suburban Goregaon.
