After the arrest of the two girls who posted and liked a comment on Facebook about their view of Mumbai shutting down after the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray, he justified saying "We support the police's action, the Facebook comments could have led to a law and order situation." Raut was taken into custody and detained by the ED in the Patra Chawl scam case. Sanjay Raut allegedly received funds from Pravin Raut, the main accused of the Rs. 60,000 crores scam. The latter is said to have gained access to high levels in the government due to his close relationship with Sanjay Raut, who is a relative, close aide, and also business partner. In 2022, in the middle of the political turmoil in Maharashtra, Raut was served notice by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of interrogation. ==Rajya Sabha Election History==
