A special PMLA court in rejected the bail plea of Girish Chaudhary, the son-in-law of NCP leader Eknath Khadse, in a case connected to the 2016 purchase of government land in Pune. This was Chaudhary's second attempt at seeking bail in the case. Special judge RN Rokade rejected the bail plea.

The detailed order was not available yet. Chaudhary, in his plea, had claimed that he was being made a scapegoat in the case and that provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) did not apply in the case, as he had not siphoned off any amount.
