The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 5 conducted searches at six locations linked to Baramati Agro Private Limited, a firm owned by Nationalist Congress Party MLA Rohit Pawar, grandnephew of party supremo Sharad Pawar, as part of a money laundering probe connected to the alleged Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam. The NCP condemned the ED’s actions, alleging political motivations.
Searches were conducted in Baramati, Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and Aurangabad, sources told The Hindu. The 38-year-old first-time legislator from Karjat-Jamkhed was not available for comments; he is currently abroad on a family vacation.
