Maharashtra News:  Sunetra Pawar, the wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and the NDA candidate for the Baramati Lok Sabha seat got a major relief on Wednesday as the Mumbai Police cleared her of any wrongdoing in alleged Rs 25,000-crore Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB) 'scam' case. Clearing her name in the case, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police stated that no evidence, of any criminality or wrongdoing in the matter, was found.

The closure report further said that the bank suffered no financial losses in the loan-giving process or selling the Jarandeshwar Sugar Mill.

Opposition attacks BJP over the report

Mumbai police's closure report timing has sparked a row in the state with the opposition leaders in the INDIA bloc launching a scathing attack on the ruling BJP. Taking a jibe at the report, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey said that any opposition leader can get a clean chit in any case by joining the BJP.

"Sunetra Pawar, wife of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, has got a clean chit from the EOW in the Rs 25,000 crore MSCB bank scam case. PM Modi once called them a corrupt family but today, she received a clean chit. The closure report says the EOW did not find any criminal wrongdoing in the case. All Opposition leaders, accused of some wrongdoing or the other, get clean chits after joining the BJP. They make allegations against Opposition leaders, only to get them on their side thereafter and ensure they get a clean chit," he said.
