Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Maharashtra unit chief and former Minister Jayant Patil appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai on Monday for questioning in connection with a money laundering case related to now-bankrupt financial services firm Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited.
Around 11.40 a.m., Mr. Patil walked to the agency’s office located close to the NCP office at Ballard Estate, while hundreds of party workers raised slogans in support of him and alleged that the NDA government and the Central agency were indulging in political vendetta.
