The SIT has so far arrested former Mumbai police commissioner R S Sharma in connection with the racket. Sharma was appointed to the top post despite adverse reports about his role in the racket. Bhujbal gave the go-ahead for the appointment after the then Director General of Police Subhash Malhotra cleared Sharma of any wrong-doing.
The SIT recently questioned Malhotra in this regard.
On Monday morning, Bhujbal landed in Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital for a medical checkup following high blood pressure. Doctors have reportedly advised rest.
He had been in Nagpur for the past few days to attend the winter session of the legislature.
