I-T recovers Rs 2 Crore from Shiv Sena leader Yashwant Jadhav's family and aide; Raut slams Centre over raids

Yashwant Jadhav

A sum of Rs 2 crore was seized from the premises of family and associates of Shiv Sena corporator and Standing Committee chairperson of BMC, Yashwant Jadhav following raids by the Income Tax (I-T) Department.

Cash was also recovered from one of his close associate businessman, Bimal Aggarwal. He was recently in the spotlight after he had filed an extortion case against former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.

Reacting to this development, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut once again launched an attack on the Centre saying "Income and Tax only in Maharashtra".

"I think there is income and tax only in Maharashtra and no income and tax in BJP-ruled states. The municipal corporation polls are here... so central agencies have work only in Maharashtra and West Bengal; no work in rest of India. All is well there," ANI quoted the Sena leader.

The raid took place just a few days after NCP leader Nawab Malik was arrested in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election are likely to be held in late March or early April 2022.
