PMC Bank scam case: Sanjay Raut's wife Varsha won't appear before ED today

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut's wife Varsha will not appear before Enforcement Directorate (ED) today in PMC Bank scam case. She has sought time from the agency till January 5.

The ED had summoned the Rajya Sabha MP's wife in connection with the PMC Bank scam case. She was asked to join the investigation on December 29.

According to sources, this is the third summons sent to the Sena leader's wife. She had skipped the earlier two summons citing ill health, sources said.

In September last year, the RBI had capped the withdrawal limit and restricted the activities of the PMC Bank after an alleged fraud of Rs 4,355 crore came to light.

The Enforcement Directorate had later seized and identified movable and immovable assets worth more than Rs 3,830 crore owned by Housing Development Infrastructures Ltd (HDIL) in connection with the case.
