The Enforcement Directorate, on Monday, October 18, summoned Shiv Sena MP Bhavna Gawali, for her alleged involvement in a money laundering case.
Gawali is a five-time Lok Sabha MP representing the Washim-Yavatmal constituency since 1998.
The ED ordered Gawali to present herself before the authorities on October 20 at their Mumbai headquarters.
The ED had conducted several raids at Gawali’s premises in the past and she had been summoned for questioning several times.
The Central agency had accused her of committing fraud by converting a trust into a Section 8 company and thus layering funds worth ₹18 crore and cash worth ₹7 crore.
ED had earlier arrested Gawali’s associate Saeed Khan under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
As per ED, Gawali criminally conspired to convert the Trust ‘Mahila Utkarsha Pratishthan’ into a Section 8 company through forgery and fraud for the purpose of layering the trust fund.
Initial probe showed that there was a huge cash deposit and the withdrawal of bigger amounts from the account of the trust maintained at the Risod Urban cooperative society.
Then branch manager of Risod Urban cooperative society in his statement stated that the society was not entitled to receive a cash deposit of more than ₹3 lakh.
Reportedly, Khan played a major role in forging documents and creating companies to wash out the money.
This is a developing story. More updates to follow.

In the most unbelievable incident ever, four men were arrested for allegedly raping a Bengal monitor lizard in Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR). The reserve is spread over four districts of Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Ratnagiri in Maharashtra.
The gruesome incident took place at Gothane village in Ratnagiri district on March 31 when the four accused illegally entered Chandoli National Park (part of the reserve). One of the four was also carrying a gun for hunting.
The Maharashtra Forest Department checked the mobile phone of one of the accused and that’s when he learnt about the incident. The officials found the recording of the act, which showed the accused allegedly gang-raping the monitor lizard.
A forest official said the four accused were identified as Sandeep Tukaram Pawar, Mangesh Kamtekar, Akshay Kamtekar and Ramesh Ghag.
The official said, “During the investigation, the forest officials found that the accused had allegedly raped a Bengal monitor lizard. Their act was also recorded in a mobile phone of one of the accused persons. We have recovered all the related evidence from the accused and they were granted forest department custody initially, but are out on bail now. They have been asked to mark their presence before the forest officer, who is probing the case, every Monday.”
“The four accused have been booked under various sections of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972,” said field director of Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR), Nanasaheb Ladkat.
