ED Names Rohit Pawar, Baramati Agro in MSC Bank Money Laundering Case; Court Initiates Process

Mumbai:The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Mumbai Zonal Office, has intensified its probe into the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB) scam by filing a third Supplementary Prosecution Complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The complaint, filed on July 9, 2025, names three additional accused: Rohit Pawar, M/s Baramati Agro Limited, and Rajendra Ingwale, marking a significant development in the long-standing financial scandal.

On July 18, 2025, the Special PMLA Court in Mumbai took cognizance of the charges and issued process against the newly named accused, signaling that the case will now proceed into trial stages for the latest accused as well.

Rohit Pawar, a prominent political figure and the CEO of Baramati Agro Ltd, is the grandnephew of NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar. His inclusion in the charge sheet is seen as a politically sensitive move that could ripple across Maharashtra’s political landscape, particularly with local body elections and the 2026 state polls on the horizon.

Baramati Agro Limited, a large agribusiness company based in Pune district, and its financial dealings have been under ED’s lens for over two years. The agency alleges that loans sanctioned to the company were obtained and utilized in violation of banking norms, constituting laundering of public funds.
