Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut came in support of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray who is facing an ED probe in a money laundering case. The support comes a day after Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray threw his weight behind estranged cousin Thackeray. However, Raut defended CBI's action against ex-Union minister P Chidambaram.

Raut claimed that there was 'ample evidence' against former finance minister Chidambaram and that his son Karti Chidambaram was already arrested in the same case. Sanjay Raut added that constantly dubbing the action of the investigating agencies' as "political vendetta" would demoralise them. The senior Congress leader was arrested on Wednesday night by the CBI in the INX Media money laundering case.
