Case filed under MSCB Scam

On September 24, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar, his nephew Ajit Pawar, and others were booked under the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB) scam case. Officials claimed that an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) has been registered by the central agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Reacting to the ECIR filed against him which is equivalent to an FIR, he said that he wasn't surprised by this. Pawar also thanked the probe agencies as they have linked his name in a case involving a bank of which he is not even a member. He initially seemed clueless when the case was registered against him, claiming that he had not received any notice.
