The Mumbai police on Friday defended its closure report in the Rs 25,000 crore Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam, in which Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was one of the accused, and said it was not concerned with anyone’s “political affiliation” but the illegal acts, if any, committed by them.

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai police was responding to a protest petition, filed by original informant in the case Surinder Arora,  against the closure report.
