ED seeks transfer of two cases against Chhagan Bhujbal

Enforcement Directorate (ED) has moved the sessions court seeking transfer of two cases against former Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal and his kin from the anti-corruption court to Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court. The sessions court has directed the Anti-Corruption Bureau to file its reply next month.<br/><br/>Last year, the ED had registered two Enforcement Case Information Reports (ECIRs) under the PMLA against the NCP leader suspecting total illegal transactions to the tune of 900 crore rupees and had summoned four individuals of a Singapore-based firm in which Bhujbal's company Armstrong Energy had allegedly invested.<br/><br/><br/>Mr Bhujbal and his nephew Samir were arrested earlier this year by ED in the money laundering case pertaining to alleged irregularities in construction of the Maharashtra Sadan building in New Delhi and the Kalina Library in suburban Mumbai. The duo were named in a charge sheet by the ED and the State Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
