The investigation into the irrigation scam is in the final phase, and I am very much certain that like Chhagan Bhujbal, Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare will also have to go jail," Somaiya told ANI.
Bhujbal was on Monday arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam.
