Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Desai appeared before the Mumbai police`s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) on Tuesday in connection with an alleged Rs 50 crore withdrawal from the party.
The investigation was initiated by a complaint lodged by a Shiv Sena functionary linked with the group of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The suit claims that the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) took Rs 50 crore from the party budget notwithstanding the Election Commission`s (EC) recognition of the Shinde faction as the legitimate Shiv Sena, reported PTI.
