A Mumbai court has rejected the bail plea of former Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal and his nephew Sameer Bhujbal in connection with cases filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
In 2015, the Enforcement Directorate had registered two Enforcement Case Information Reports under the PMLA against the NCP leader, suspecting illegal transactions to the tune of Rs 900 crore in all.
The first case was about the Maharashtra Sadan and Kalina land allotment scams, while the second was related to a housing project at Navi Mumbai by a construction firm promoted by the Bhujbal family.
