Controversy
Desai was called in by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police for a preliminary inquiry into an alleged misappropriation of Rs 50 crore from the party’s funds.
According to the complaint, the Shiv Sena (UBT) allegedly withdrew Rs 50 crore from the party fund even after the Election Commission (EC) declared the Shinde faction as the real Shiv Sena. The EOW is investigating potential cheating and forgery related to the fund withdrawal and summoned Desai for questioning.
