Former Haryana Congress MLA Arrested in Money Laundering

Haryana : In a significant development, a former Haryana Congress MLA was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a major money laundering case involving ₹1,500 crore. The arrest took place at a five-star hotel, where the accused was reportedly seen strolling at the time of his detention. The former legislator, whose name has not been disclosed by the authorities yet, is said to have been under investigation for several months, with the ED looking for crucial evidence in the ongoing probe.

According to sources, the money laundering case centers around financial dealings that are suspected of being linked to illicit activities such as corruption, tax evasion, and illegal wealth accumulation. The ED had been tracking the accused as part of its investigation into a wider network involved in the laundering of funds across various sectors. The arrest is seen as a major breakthrough in the agency’s efforts to dismantle the financial network connected to the case.

The former MLA was reportedly under the radar of the ED for his alleged involvement in facilitating money laundering activities that led to the transfer of substantial amounts of illegal funds across various jurisdictions. The ED had issued multiple summonses and conducted several rounds of questioning before making the decision to arrest him. The case is one of the largest money laundering investigations in recent years, with authorities claiming that it highlights the ongoing issue of corruption within the political and financial sectors in the region.

Officials have confirmed that the arrested individual will face multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, money laundering, and illegal wealth accumulation. The ED is also expected to intensify its investigation to determine the role of other individuals or entities that may have been involved in the illicit financial activities.

The arrest has raised concerns about the level of corruption within political circles in Haryana, with opposition parties calling for more stringent measures to curb money laundering and corruption in the state. As investigations continue, the ED is expected to gather more evidence and potentially make further arrests as part of its efforts to dismantle the alleged network.
