MUMBAI: Maharashtra Transport Minister Anil Parab appeared earlier than the Enforcement Directorate (ED) right here on Thursday for the third day in a row in reference to a cash laundering case, and left after greater than six hours.

Parab, a senior Shiv Sena chief, reached the ED’s workplace at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai round 2:45 pm, and left round 9 pm, an official mentioned. The ED has been questioning him in a cash laundering probe linked to alleged violation of coastal regulation zone provisions within the development of Sai resort in Dapoli in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri district.

The company had questioned Parab for greater than six hours on Wednesday, and for over 10 hours on Tuesday. Parab (57) is a three-time member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council and holds the transport and parliamentary affairs portfolios.

The ED had raided his premises and people allegedly linked to him in May, after registering a recent case below the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in opposition to him and others. However, the Shiv Sena chief denied any wrongdoing.
