MUMBAI: (May 20) Mumbai police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) on Tuesday arrested Purushottam Chavan, the husband of an IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, in a fraud case involving Rs 24.78 crore, officials said.
Chavan, who was in custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a separate money laundering case, was taken into custody by the EOW, an official said.
The EOW, probing two separate fraud cases against Chavan, had submitted an application before a Mumbai court on Friday to get his custody for questioning in one of them. The plea was allowed by the court and his custody was handed over to the EOW, which placed him under arrest, he said.
