Economic offences wing clears Ajit Pawar's wife in bank scam case

EOW has absolved Sunetra, the wife of deputy CM Ajit Pawar, in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam amounting to Rs 25,000 crore. According to the closure report by EOW, there were no illegalities in the arrangement where Jarandeshwar Sugar Mills Pvt Ltd rented Jarandeshwar Co-Op Sugar Mill from Guru Commodity. However, the Enforcement Directorate, in its chargesheet, alleges that Guru Commodity and Jarandeshwar Sugar Mills engaged in a "paper transaction" to portray the lease as legitimate.
