Sanjay Raut claims conspiracy : Are his claims true? Pol. Analyst Chandrashekhar Nene shares his views; Fmr. CBI Officer SM Khan talks about conviction rates of CBI and ED. BJP's Shweta Shalini and Congress' Radhika Khera share their views. --- Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut was detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Sunday in connection with a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities in the redevelopment of a Mumbai ‘chawl‘. The Sena leader was detained hours after an ED team, which arrived at his Mumbai bungalow ‘Maitri’ at 7am accompanied by CRPF personnel, conducted raids at his home. The Sena leader was taken to the ED zonal office for interrogation shortly after 5 pm. Sources said Raut was not cooperating as needed with the agency. Sources said Rs 11.50 lakh unaccounted cash was seized from the Sena leader’s residence. Raut, however, denied any wrongdoing and claimed that he was a victim of political vendetta. Speaking to CNN-News18, Raut said, “They (ED) can keep me in custody as long as they want. I will prove the allegations wrong." After reaching the ED office, Raut said he would continue to fight. Putting up a brave front, the Sena MP said, Jhukega nahi (won’t bow down). “False charges and documents are being framed against people. All of this is being done to weaken Shiv Sena and Maharashtra. Sanjay Raut won’t be cowed down. I will not leave the party," he asserted. Raut’s lawyer Vikrant Sabne told reporters that there was no question of any seizure as they have already submitted relevant documents. “We’ve accepted fresh summons, Sanjay Raut has been brought for questioning. They (ED) already took documents that they felt were important. Some property documents were seized. But, no documents related to Patra Chawl were taken by them," he said. Raut was previously summoned by the investigation agency on July 20 in the Patra Chawl land scam case, which he skipped and informed his lawyers that due to the ongoing Parliament session, he could only appear after August 7. On July 1, he recorded his statement for the first time. In this case, the ED had attached Raut’s properties in Dadar and Alibag. The agency wanted to question Raut about his “business and other links" with Pravin Raut, as well as about his wife’s property deals, sources said. Sources earlier also added that ED officials didn’t allow anybody in the Raut family to speak on the phone. They said documents were sought by the team, and that the family has not been informed about the next course of action.
