In a move that may cause further trouble to the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, a senior Congress leader, Sanjay Nirupam, has demanded a probe by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into a property deal related to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's under-construction home, which is next to his Kalanagar residence.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, the former Mumbai Congress president asked the ED director to shift his attention to Mumbai to seek answers in a money laundering case, in which a senior Congress leader, Ahmed Patel, was also questioned. Nirupam tweeted, "If @dir_ed's queries are exhausted in Delhi in Sterling Biotech Money Laundering probe, they should turn their attention to Mumbai now. They may get some answers if the huge property deal between its director Rajbhushan Dikshit & Chief Minister of Maharashtra is probed."
