ED attaches Chautala’s properties

New Delhi, April 15

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday stated that it had attached four assets worth Rs3.68 crore of former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala in connection with a money laundering case against him and others.

The agency said in a statement that the immovable properties were located in Delhi, Panchkula and Sirsa and a provisional order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) had been issued.

The ED’s money laundering case is based on a CBI FIR against Chautala for possession of alleged disproportionate assets. “Chautala had acquired immovable properties in New Delhi and Panchkula and constructed a house in Sirsa out of the money received from undisclosed sources,” the agency said. — TNS
