<h1>Political leader named in cooperative bank scam chargesheet involving fraudulent sugar mill sales below market prices</h1> A political leader was named as an accused in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate.

The accused's company purchased a sugar mill through auction in 2012, which authorities claim involved questionable valuation and bid manipulation. The leader denies wrongdoing, claiming political targeting despite 97 others being named in the original FIR. The case stems from a 2019 police complaint regarding loan recovery procedures and asset disposal violations under banking regulations.
