The Income Tax Department has found evidence of money laundering to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore in Maharashtra as per a press note it has issued after recent raids in the state, senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said.

Queried on the Income Tax raids on firms linked to the kin of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and some real estate companies in Pune on October 7, Fadnavis said the action was not against any one family but against directors of sugar factories.
