Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19 : A Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai rejected the bail plea of Girish Choudhary, son-in-law of NCP leader Eknath Khadse on Friday in connection with Pune's Bhosari land scam matter.
Girish Chaudhary was arrested by the ED in July 2021 in connection with Pune's Bhosari land scam matter.
