Rohit Pawar Seeks Discharge in Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank Money Laundering Case

NCP MLA Rohit Pawar has filed a discharge application in the Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank (MSCB) money laundering case, arguing that the predicate offence has been closed and no money laundering is proven. The case stems from a 2019 FIR alleging fraudulent sale of cooperative sugar mills at undervalued prices. The special court has asked the Enforcement Directorate to respond by March 17. Pawar and others, including businessman Rajendra Ingwale, seek discharge following closure reports accepted by the court.
