The officials from Enforcement Directorate on Saturday lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police alleging that an unidentified person has posed as an ED official and demanded 15 crore from the wife of an NCP leader Anil Bhosale under the pretext of favouring him in a money laundering case.
According to police, the accused forged a letter and the identity card of the ED officials after which he sent them to Reshma Bhosale, wife of the NCP leader on October 23, from an unidentified number.
“ED had arrested Anil Bhosale in 2021 in connection with the Pune-based cooperative bank fraud case. It is a case of money laundering and as he is still in jail, an impersonator approa-ched his wife on October 23 to help him in a case,” said an officer.
The impersonator also demanded Rs 15 crore.
The incident came to light after Reshma enquired with the ED officials following which the agency conducted a probe and lodged a complaint at Worli police station. A case of cheating, forgery and extortion has been registered.
