The ED has summoned Raut on Tuesday for questioning in a money laundering probe linked to the re-development of a Mumbai ‘chawl’, officials said.

The development comes as the Shiv Sena battles rebellion from a group of its MLAs, who are camping in Assam’s Guwahati city, putting a question mark on the future of Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.

”I just got to know that the ED has sent me a notice. Major developments are taking place in Maharashtra. We all are Shiv Sainiks of (Sena founder) Balasaheb. This is a conspiracy. Even if I am beheaded, I will not take the Guwahati route,” Raut said in a tweet in Marathi and tagged BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis.

The Rajya Sabha member also dared the ED to arrest him.
