Mumbai: Shiv Sena (Uddhav Bal Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday termed the questioning of his colleague Sadanand Kadam as a "political move." Addressing media persons, Raut said, "Kadam had worked hard to make Uddhav's public rally in Khed a success, but the ED arrested him."
"The government is going beyond dictatorship. Power comes and goes, but everyone will be accounted for. Sadanand Kadam's questioning is a political move," he stated.
On Friday, Kadam, a close aide of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader and former Maharashtra minister Anil Parab, appeared before the ED in Mumbai for questioning in connection with the alleged Dapoli Sai Resort scam.
The ED conducted a search at his residence and issued him summons to appear before the agency. Kadam reached the ED office in the afternoon.
In February this year, Kadam challenged the Income Tax department after it had provisionally attached Sai Resort under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act (PBPTA) in December 2022.
Anil Parab has a resort in Dapoli which is allegedly illegal and Parab is accused of corruption in building the resort. Earlier in 2022, the ED had also called Parab in the alleged money laundering case in the Dapoli resort case.
