The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is carrying out its raids on locations that are linked to Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra and Independent MLA Om Prakash Hudla, sources confirmed on Thursday. Meanwhile, Ashok Gehlot took his X handle to share that the probe has also issued summons to his son, Vaibhav Gehlot. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan also said that the actions taken by the ED officials against the summons and Dotasra have come just a day after his party had announced guarantees for women while campaigning for the upcoming State Assembly Elections.
His son has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in a foreign exchange violation case and he has been asked to depose before the probe agency’s office either in Jaipur or in New Delhi on Friday. The summons are also linked to the recent ED raids against Rajasthan based hospitality group Triton Hotels & Resorts Pvt. Ltd., Vardha Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. and its directors and promoters Shiv Shankar Sharma, Rattan Kant Sharma and others.
Earlier, this year, BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena had filed a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate where she had alleged that there were some business ventures that were being used to launder Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot’s black money. The complaint was against CM’s son Vaibhav Gehlot and a man described as the younger Gehlot’s business associate sought action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The Enforcement Directorate continued with its searches today also at Jaipur and Sikar homes of Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasara in connection with the alleged leak of exam papers last year for recruitment of government school teachers. These actions have come just few weeks prior to the State Assemble Elections of 2023 in Rajasthan.
