Earlier in October, the department had also searched offices and residences of the promoters of Dynamix and DB Realty. Raids were also conducted at sugar mills funded by Dynamix and DB Realty and Pawar's sisters' houses and companies.
Following these raids, the minister had called these raids "politically motivated".
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting raids which are underway in Mumbai and Pune at the residence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's cousin Jagdish Kadam, the probe agency said on Thursday.
According to the ED, the searches are in connection with Maharashtra State Co-operative (MSC) Bank fraud.
Kadam is the cousin of Pawar and also director of the Daund Sugar factory which was raided earlier by ED.
