“Investigations were conducted by the ACB on the assets owned by Chhagan Bhujbal, Pankaj Bhujbal, Sameer Bhujbal and other family members. A case of disproportionate assets was registered against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal and 11 others by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday. Apart from the former minister, several of his family members are named in the charges, including his wife Meena, his son and MLA Pankaj, his daughter-in-law Vishakha, and nephew and former MP Sameer Bhujbal.
