New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED), the central probe agency, has been continuously questioning senior Congress leaders over its probe into alleged money laundering in the high-profile National Herald case, even as its office has been sealed. There are also continuous demonstrations by Congress against the questioning. Meanwhile, it is reported that the ED is once again preparing to question Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
The ED has found evidence during its investigation so far that money was being sent to Associated Journal Ltd and Young Indian through several shell companies. According to sources, ED has come to know that young Indian and Associated Journal Limited continued to draw money from shell companies even after the Supreme Court's order. The court had in February 2016 dismissed a plea seeking to stop the trial against those belonging to the Gandhi family in the same case. Earlier, the ED had also received a link to 'hawala transactions.' At the same time, the ED had also said that Sonia-Rahul have not been able to provide any evidence that all the money transactions, in this case, were done by the late Congress treasurer Motilal Vora.
Let us know that in the case related to National Herald, the ED team sealed the office of the Young Indian on Wednesday. It was also directed by the ED not to open the premises without permission. The preliminary report said that the office of the Young Indian was temporarily sealed for gathering several pieces of evidence in the raid on August 2. However, other offices of the National Herald will remain open.
