Mumbai, India – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken significant action in the ongoing Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank (MSCB) scam investigation. On Friday, the agency attached assets worth over ₹50 crores of a sugar mill owned by Rohit Pawar, the grandnephew of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar.

This action is part of the ED’sinvestigation into alleged financial irregularities and money laundering within the MSCB. The case has implicated several high-profile figures, including former deputy chief minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar, who is related to Sharad Pawar.

The ED’s investigation has focused on the alleged misuse of loans taken from the MSCB by sugar mills and other cooperative institutions. The agency alleges that these loans were often diverted for personal gain or other unauthorized purposes.
