New Delhi, Dec 5 (IBNS): Assets over rupees 20 crore of NCP leader and former Deputy CM of Maharashtra Chhagan Bhujbal and others have been attached by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), according to media reports on Tuesday.

ED is probing into alleged money laundering cases instituted against Bhujbal and others.
 
The assets were provisionally attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), media reported.
 
Nearly Rs 178 crore as been attached under this case, media quoting ED said.
 
In September last, a special Anti-Corruption Bureau court had allowed ED to transfer two cases against Bhujbal to the PMLA court, according to media reports.
 
In 2015, two 'Enforcement Case Information Reports' were filed under the PMLA by ED against Bhujbal, allegedly for illegal transactions of nearly Rs 900 crore, pertaining to the Maharashtra Sadan scam and Kalina land allotment case, and a housing project in Navi Mumbai.
