Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President, MLA and Former Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Monday reached the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) office in Hyderabad for questioning in a money laundering case over alleged financial irregularities linked to the Formula-E race held in Hyderabad in February 2023.
More trouble seems to be brewing for the former and controversial Principal of R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also entering the scene by filing an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) regarding financial irregularities there during his tenure.
The first ECIR is related to his involvement in the ration distribution and the second is related to using his fish exports business for money laundering.
A recent judgment of the Supreme Court holding that narcotics officers are police officers within the meaning of Section 25 of the Evidence Act will raise questions about the procedures followed in cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, writes.
