The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday summoned Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena Anil Parab for questioning in connection with the alleged money laundering linked to his resort in Dapoli, Ratnagiri. The transport minister has been asked to appear before the agency’s zonal office in Mumbai.
The ED has alleged violation of coastal regulation zone provisions in the construction of a resort in Dapoli beach area.
The federal agency wants to question and record Parab’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they said.
The ED had raided his premises and those allegedly linked to him in May in connection with the case.
This came about after the Enforcement Directorate registered a fresh case under PMLA against him and others.
Parab (57), is a three-time Shiv Sena legislator in the Maharashtra legislative council, the upper house of the legislature, and is also the state parliamentary affairs minister.
