MUMBAI: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut used an additional Rs 1.17 crore of proceeds from crime for purchasing land at Alibaug, while his wife Varsha received Rs 1.08 crore into her bank account, the ED informed the PMLA court on Thursday. The Rauts also received Rs 1.06 crore from Pravin Raut, a key accused in the Patra Chawl redevelopment case, the ED told the court.
While seeking eight-day extension of the Rajya Sabha MP's custody, the ED said his replies about the transactions have so far been evasive. The court extended his custody till August 8 and said "remarkable progress" had been made in the probe. Raut was arrested on Monday. The agency has also summoned his wife to record her statement in the case on Friday.
