Earlier, speaking to reporters before entering the ED
office, Bhujbal said, "It is political vendetta...Truth shall prevail. I will cooperate with the ED."
Before Bhujbal's arrival, at least 30 NCP workers were briefly taken into preventive custody outside the ED office here.
Police sources said that around 125 police personnel headed by DCP Zone-I, Manoj Kumar Sharma were present at the spot even as roads leading to the office were barricaded on both sides.
