In Mumbai, a FIR has been filed against Sanjay Raut for allegedly threatening Swapna Patkar, wife of close Shiv Sena ally Sujit Patkar.
Sections 504,506 and 509 of the IPC were used to record the complaint at the Vakola police station. Raut is purportedly heard threatening Swapna in a viral audio recording of her.
Notably, Swapna Patkar is a witness in the Patra Chawl land case, which led to the arrest of Raut on Sunday by the Enforcement Directorate following many hours of raids at his home.
Sunil Raut, the brother of Sanjay Raut, stated earlier on Sunday that his brother had been taken into custody. He will appear in court on Monday, according to Sunil.
“Sanjay Raut was taken into custody. He was detained because the BJP is terrified of him. They have not provided any documentation to us (regarding his arrest). He’s been set up. Tomorrow at 11.30 am, he will appear in court “Sunil Raut said on Sunday.
Sources claim that ED agents earlier in the day confiscated Rs 11.50 lakhs in undeclared cash from Raut’s home.
After many hours of raids at his Mumbai home, Raut was held by Enforcement Directorate (ED) agents on Sunday in connection with the Patra Chawl land fraud case; however, Sanjay Raut’s lawyer had earlier claimed that his client was neither detained nor arrested.
