Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader and Lok Sabha candidate Amol Kirtikar on Monday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged corruption case, ANI reported.
The case pertains to alleged irregularities in awarding contracts to distribute food to migrant workers who were stranded during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“ED has summoned me and I will be present there before the agency today and whatever they will ask, I will answer,” Kirtikar told ANI.
This is the second summons issued to Kirtikar by the central agency. The Lok Sabha candidate from the Mumbai North-West seat skipped the first summons on March 29, reported ANI.

Kirtikar’s father, Gajanan Kirtikar, is the incumbent MP from the Mumbai North-West constituency and is part of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s faction of the Shiv Sena.
