Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray came out in support of estranged cousin Raj Thackeray on Wednesday, a day after the latter got a letter asking him to appear before the Enforcement Directorate’s office.

The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray as well as Unmesh Joshi, son of senior Shiv

Sena leader Manohar Joshi, in connection with a loan taken by their company Kohinoor CTNL from the troubled IL&FS group.

The company is believed to have taken a loan of Rs 860 cr from IL&FS and later defaulted on repayments. Subsequently, Joshi and Thackeray resigned from the company.

Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray said there was no substance in the case filed against his estranged cousin.

“The whole of Maharashtra knows that there is nothing to the case. I don’t think anything will come out of the inquiry. We should wait for a day or two,” Thackeray told reporters at his residence Matoshree on Wednesday afternoon.

The Shiv Sena chief was interacting with the media after inducting former Congress leader Nirmala Gavit and former NCP leader Rashmi Bagal into his party.
