Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik arrives at ED office after being summoned for third time

Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik on Thursday arrived at the office of Enforcement Directorate after being summoned for the third time, in connection with raid conducted at his residence. 

A senior ED official said that Sarnaik has been asked to appear on Thursday to record his statement in connection with its probe into Tops Security.

Sarnaik has been evading the financial probe agency summons as he has not joined the probe so far. He has went into mandatory quarantine after returning from Goa.

Last month the ED has carried out searches at the residence of Sarnaik and his sons in Mumbai.

The ED raids were in connection with a complaint lodged late in October against the leading security services provider, Tops Group of Mumbai, alleging that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had been cheated of Rs 175 crore.
