Rajya Sabha member and Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut was detained by the Enforcement Directorate on Sunday after several hours of searches at his Maitri bungalow in Bhandup for his alleged role in the Rs 1,034-crore Patra Chawl land scam. “There is a conspiracy against me…mai jhukega nahin.. nor will I quit Shiv Sena…Sena will not get weakened,” Raut told the media outside the agency’s Ballard Estate office.

Raut kept waving at his supporters as the ED brought him to its office in south Mumbai. About 10 officers arrive at Raut’s Bhandup home around 7 am after the Parliamentarian failed to appear before the agency for being questioned in the case registered by MHADA in 2018.
