According to sources, this is the third summons sent to the Sena leader's wife. She had skipped the earlier two summons citing ill health, sources said.

The Enforcement Directorate had later seized and identified movable and immovable assets worth more than Rs 3,830 crore owned by Housing Development Infrastructures Ltd (HDIL) in connection with the case.
