ED summons AAP Punjab MLA in DA-linked PMLA case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned AAP Punjab MLA Raman Arora for questioning in a money laundering case linked to alleged possession of disproportionate assets next week here, officials said on Monday.

Arora is a legislator from the Jalandhar Central assembly seat.

Officials said he has been asked to depose before the central agency on June 2 at the ED office in Jalandhar following which his statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The MLA was earlier arrested and charge-sheeted by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau in a case of alleged possession of disproportionate assets worth Rs 1.10 crore, according to the officials.

There are allegations against him of extortion from shops and other establishments, they claimed.
