<h1>Eknath Khadse must face trial in alleged money laundering over a heavily discounted Pune land purchase.</h1> The special court refused to discharge Eknath Khadse, his wife and son in law in a PMLA prosecution, finding sufficient material to proceed to framing of charges based on an ED probe originating from an ACB FIR. The court held that material prima facie shows dishonest intention and that Khadse allegedly used his position to facilitate the purchase of a three acre Bhosari plot at Rs 3.75 crore against an alleged market value of Rs 31.01 crore, and that acquisition means appear not legally approved, amounting to criminal misconduct on the face of the record.
