"During the last ten years, the ED office was used to arrest political opponents, suppress their voice, harass them and throw them in jail and force them to defect to ruling parties. Now, the ED has burnt down its own office to claim that there is no evidence against them. This is the best example of a political conspiracy," Sapkal told media persons here.

The Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad and the party's MP Supriya Sule also raised questions about the fire in the ED's Mumbai office on Sunday (27 April 2025) noon, despite assurances given by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis that all files at the ED office have digital back-ups and hence there is nothing to worry about.
