After questioning Waikar at the EOW office in south Mumbai, he was allowed to go in the evening, the official said.
Waikar's wife Manisha Waikar is summoned by the EOW on Wednesday, he said.
The MLA and others are accused of allegedly misleading the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and obtaining permission fraudulently between January and July 2021 to construct a luxury hotel illegally.
The land, located along Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, was reserved for sports and entertainment purposes and was allotted to Waikar and others for public utilisation, but they used it for commercial purposes to earn crores of rupees, as per the FIR.
