ED sought extended custody for Raut till August 10, as it secured certain documents and wanted to probe related matters, besides investigating other accused in the case.
 
 
ED arrested Raut on Sunday midnight, in connection with alleged financial irregularities in the redevelopment of Patra Chawl in suburban Goregaon, and related financial property transactions involving his wife and alleged associates.

ED had produced Raut before the PMLA court judge MG Deshpande on Monday and sought his remand for 8 days. The court sent him to the agency's custody till August 4.
 
 
The agency had told the court on Monday that Raut and his family received "proceeds of crime" worth over Rs 1 crore generated out of alleged irregularities in the housing redevelopment project. After Raut was arrested, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had on Monday described him as a hardcore Shiv Sainik of Bal Thackeray who did not succumb to pressure.
