Mumbai, Mar 24 (PTI) Maharashtra IPS officer Rashmi Karandikar appeared before the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) on Monday as part of probe into two fraud cases registered against her husband Purushottam Chavan, an official said.

She arrived at the EOW office at 6pm and left after an hour, the official added.
