Former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal who was arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) last night, will be produced before Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai sessions court today.

Bhujbal was yesterday arrested by the ED in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam.

The Maharashtra ACB had last month filed a chargesheet in the Mumbai Sessions Court against Chhagan Bhujbal and his family members in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan construction scam.

The ED had on February 1 arrested Sameer Bhujbal, the nephew of Bhujbal, in a money laundering case in Mumbai after the agency conducted multiple searches in connection with its probe against Bhujbals and others.

The Maharashtra ACB had earlier filed two FIRs against the Bhujbals and others under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to probe the Delhi-based Maharashtra Sadan construction scam and the Kalina land grabbing case.

Chhagan is being investigated by the ED in several cases of money laundering.
