Key man Parab tied up with answering ED questions on day Sena needed him most

On a day the ruling Shiv Sena plunged into a political crisis amid defection fears, key party strategist Anil Parab spent Tuesday answering ED questions.
This time, after a third summons, he did not ask for exemption and decided to record his statement. From 11.30am to 11pm, Parab was at the zonal office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Ballard Pier. He was called for questioning again on Wednesday.
It has been seen in the past that the ED proceeds aggressively after summoning a person three times. There was political turmoil in the state but Parab was cut off from everything, including his cell phone, while the questioning was under way. Parab is a close aide of CM Uddhav Thackeray. He was a key person handling party affairs during the Rajya Sabha and legislative council polls this month. He is also handling the responsibility of planning the party strategy for the upcoming BMC election.
