Rahul seems earlier than ED for thinking in cash laundering case

 Gandhi entered the ED headquarters around 11 a.m. after leaving the congress office with a large convoy of party leaders

New Delhi: With a series of  leaders,  MP Rahul Gandhi appeared here in front of the executive office on Monday and was questioned in a money laundering investigation linked to the National Herald newspaper. Officials said 

 Gandhi, who entered the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters  in central Delhi, will write down the statement around 11:10 am. Former Speaker of Parliament, 

, left Parliamentary Headquarters on Akbar Road for the ED office and was accompanied by party leaders such as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rajasthan Prime Minister Ashokjerot, Chatisgar Prime Minister Bupeshbager, and former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram. 

 Priyanka Gandhi was sitting to the left of Rahul Gandhi in his car when a convoy of seven SUVs accompanied by armed CRCF personnel entered the ED office of APJ Abdul Kalam Road. 

 Rahul Gandhi, 51, is a beneficiary of CRPFZ + after the federal government withdrew SPG coverage from the Gandhi family in 2019. 

The  ED records the testimony of members of Lok Sabha from Wayanard, Kerala, under the Criminal Division of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The investigation is related to the alleged financial irregularities in Young Indians sponsored by the party that owns the National Herald newspaper. 

 National Herald is published by  Associated Journals Limited (AJL) and is owned by Young Indian Pvt Limited. 

 Rahul Gandhi is expected to be grilled for the establishment of the Young Indian Company, the activities of the National Herald, and remittances within the news media facility. 

 "The Parliamentary Party will fight this crackdown by the Modi government," BV President Srinivas of the Indian National Congress told PTI near the ED office. 

 "We are not afraid. The Modi administration should be ashamed to turn central Delhi into a fortress just because our leaders go to the ED with their supporters," he said. I said just before I was arrested by the police. 

 The parliamentary party said at a press conference in the morning that all monetary movements in this case were legal. 

 Authorities interviewed senior parliamentary leaders Mario Kart Jankaj and Pawan Bansal in April as part of the investigation. Interviews with senior parliamentary leaders and Gandhi were part of an ED investigation to understand stock ownership patterns, financial transactions, and the  role of young Indians and AJL promoters, officials  said. 

  ED recently filed a new proceeding under PMLA penalties after learning that the  Income Tax Department had investigated Young Indian Pvt Ltd based on  a private criminal accusation filed by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in 2013. Has registered. 

 The Parliamentary Party called the ED action "Vendetta". She called the claim "false and unfounded," adding that Gandhi's subpoena was part of the BJP's "bendetta policy."

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are  the founders and shareholders of Young Indians. 

 Swami accused Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and others of cheating and embezzling funds. YoungIndian Pvt Ltd paid only  50 rupees to get the right to collect 90.25 rupees. 

 In February last year, the  Delhi High Court  issued a memorandum of understanding to respond to Swami's plea in which Gandhi tried to present evidence of the matter to the  court. 

 Gandhi received a separate bail from the court in 2015 after investing a personal guarantee and deposit of 50,000 rupees. 

 However, they claimed in the Delhi High Court that Swami's complaint was "misunderstood and premature." 

 In this case, the other defendants brought by Swami are Gandhi's aides, Suman Dubay and technocrat Sam Pitroda. They have previously denied cheating. In connection with the money laundering case, 4,444 parliamentary officials were arrested before Rahul appeared before the ED, 4,444 hours before Rahul Gandhi was scheduled to appear  in front of law enforcement agencies. Officials said they were  taken to the Mandia Marg police station around Akbar Road. 

 The day before the planned march, Delhi police refused the permit. 

 "A few hours before the scheduled ED appearance, parliamentary officials on Akbar Road, Q Point APJ Column Road, and Manshin Road were arrested and taken to the Mandia Marg Police Station," a senior police official said. 

 Police also posted a poster of the order on the barricade in front of the AICC office. 

 "Parliamentary leaders have been denied permission, but security has been strengthened according to the march they proposed. All routes to the proposed destination are severely restricted as precautions by the use of reasonable force. Has been done. " Prior to the march proposed by 

 parliamentary leaders,  Delhi police said they had imposed Article 144 CrPC to prevent more than four people from gathering in the area and urged them not to violate the law.
