The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MLA Rohit Pawar in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB) scam, media reports claim.
The move follows earlier ED actions, including raids and attachment of assets worth Rs 50.2 crore linked to Pawar’s firm, Baramati Agro. The attached properties include land, a sugar mill, and machinery acquired via a controversial auction from Kannad Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd (Kannad SSK).
The ED alleges that the auction was manipulated, with assets sold below value to linked entities, violating the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The probe began after a 2019 FIR by Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing, which accused MSCB officials of fraudulently selling cooperative sugar mills.
ED has now provisionally attached assets worth Rs 121.47 crore and filed the chargesheet in the Special PMLA Court, which is yet to take cognisance.
