Maharashtra Transport Minister Anil Parab, whose properties were raided by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday, claimed that the Dapoli resort which was at the centre of the central agency's probe did not belong to him. He responded to all the queries of ED officials and would continue to do so in the future, said the Shiv Sena leader who is considered close to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Talking to reporters after ED officials left his official residence around 7.30 pm, Parab said the agency raided his official and private residences and also the premises of some people linked to him. “There was a buzz that there will be ED action. The raids were about the Sai resort at Dapoli (in coastal Ratnagiri district), which I have been saying is owned by Sadanand Kadam. He has furnished all the details in the court and even to the Income Tax department,” the minister said.
