Shiv Sena (UBT) functionary Suraj Chavan used his closeness to "senior political leader and influential persons" to get work order from Mumbai's civic body to distribute 'khichdi' to migrants during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Enforcement Directorate has said in its chargesheet in a money laundering case.

Chavan was arrested by ED on January 18 in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the distribution of 'khichdi'. The chargesheet was filed on Friday before special judge for cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, MG Deshpande.
