After enduring 11 hours of interrogation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Rohit Pawar—NCP MLA and grandnephew of party supremo Sharad Pawar—finally broke his silence in an interview with mid-day. Rohit disclosed that during the extensive questioning, the ED did not inquire about the alleged Rs 5 crore transactions between his Baramati Agro and Hi-tech Engineering.
He expressed frustration, stating, “Such information given to the media aims to malign my image. I have nothing to hide. I presented myself before the ED and answered every question, but what I read in the newspaper about the suspicious Rs 5 crore transaction was not addressed by the ED.” When the mid-day reporter asked about the specifics of the interrogation, he responded, “They inquired about my biodata, delving into details about my company and its inception. Questions about certain transactions were posed and I provided factual answers. They also asked me about the business I have been doing since 2007. I will come back on February 1 with additional documents they require.” Rohit added that he would address the press and clarify the situation at the appropriate time. “My plea to the press is to diligently verify any information provided by informants.”
