Poll officials on May 16 checked the luggage of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on his arrival at a helipad in Nashik, days after Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged that the CM carried bags stashed with cash in a helicopter.
The officials did not find anything objectionable in Mr. Shinde’s bags.
“I carry this much luggage. It contains my clothes. I have brought bags even today,” Mr. Shinde told reporters when asked about his bags being checked.
