Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhaggan Bhujbal was on Wednesday granted bail by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in the Maharashtra Sadan and Mumbai University library cases.

His nephew Sameer Bhujbal too has been granted bail.

However, Bhujbal will continue to remain in judicial custody in the PMLA case against him.

The Enforcement Directorate had last month arrested Chhagan Bhujbal's associate and chartered accountant Sunil Naik in connection with the case.

The Enforcement Directorate is probing Bhujbal, his son Pankaj and nephew Sameer in the case concerning a contract the former allegedly gave a builder in 2005 without inviting tenders when he was the state's PWD minister.

 

The Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau had earlier filed two FIRs against the Bhujbals and others under the provisions of the PMLA to probe the Delhi-based Maharashtra Sadan scam and the Kalina land grabbing case.
