Former minister Eknath Khadse, who quit Bharatiya Janata Party to join the Nationalist Congress Party a couple of months ago, has confirmed that he has received a notice from Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The ED has summoned Khadse to its office on December 30, in connection with a controversial land deal in Bhosri in Pune which had proved to be a trigger for his resignation from the BJP government four years ago. Khadse wasn't taken back in the Cabinet, despite his repeated demands and explanations.
