CA Rajesh Kumar was also alleged by the Enforcement Directorate, for helping Misa Bharti and her husband for the transactions in benami property deals in the Bijwasan area of Delhi through a web of shell companies.
As per the recent updates regarding the case Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a fresh chargesheet in a money laundering case against a chartered accountant Rajesh Kumar on Friday. The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case was filed before the court of Special Judge Naresh Kumar Malhotra.
The case had emerged after the ED had filed a criminal complaint in February this year under PMLA. The ED suspects the entire racket to be worth about Rs 8,000 crore of slush funds.
Earlier the CA had applied for a bail plea, which ED opposed on the grounds that he might tamper with evidence if the relief was granted to him.
