In a move that evoked sharp criticism from the Opposition parties, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned MNS chief Raj Thackeray for inquiries on August 22 in connection with a probe into an alleged IL&FS-related case.
The ED is investigating the alleged irregularities in the IL&FS’s loans and investments worth over Rs.860 crore in M/s Kohinoor CTNL, a company funded by former Maharashtra CM Manohar Joshi’s son Unmesh Joshi.
Jr Joshi has gone to the ED office on Monday. Apart from being issued a notice, the MNS chief has been asked to present himself in the ED headquarters here on Thursday.
M/s Kohinoor CTNL has been under ED scanner for being a prominent defaulter of IL&FS, amounting to an estimated Rs 135 crore.
