The ED reportedly wants to question Varsha Raut with regard to "receipt" of some funds from the PMC Bank, which has been under RBI moratorium since September 2019.

The Shiv Sena has termed the ED summons as political witchhunt. Denying any connection between Varsha Raut and PMC Bank, Sena MP Arvind Sawant noted that politics was taking a very dirty turn in India.
