ED Raids Ex-VVMC Commissioner in Illegal Construction Probe
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating illegal construction in the Vasai-Virar area.
They raided properties linked to the former head of the local government, Anil Kumar Pawar, and other locations.
They found a lot of cash and important documents.
There's a worry that Pawar might have tried to hide evidence.
Some political groups want to check permits signed after Pawar left his position, concerned about potential illegal activity.
ED conducted raids at 12 locations linked to ex-VVMC Commissioner Anil Kumar Pawar.
Raids were part of an investigation into illegal construction in the Vasai-Virar region.
Authorities seized ₹1.33 crore in cash and property-related documents.
