According to news agency PTI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Trinamool Congress spokesperson Saket Gokhale in connection with a money laundering case.
According to the report, he was arrested in connection with charges of misusing money totaling roughly Rs. 1.07 crore that was raised through crowdfunding.
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act’s criminal provisions have led to the TMC Leader’s arrest (PMLA).
Gokhale was arrested in Ahmedabad, where he is currently held in judicial custody in connection with a Gujarat police case. The federal agency will present him to the local court there to request his remand.
Gokhale was arrested by Gujarat Police in Delhi last month on allegations of manipulating money he allegedly raised through crowdfunding. The Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch detained him. Gujarat Police has now detained Gokhale three times in the past month.
The Cyber Crime Branch originally arrested Gokhale on December 6 for allegedly disseminating false information about the expense of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Morbi, where a bridge collapse left more than 130 people dead. In this instance, the court granted him bail.
Later, on December 8, the Morbi officers arrested him once more for the identical offence that had been reported there. The following day, he was given bail.
On December 1, the TMC leader shared a news clipping about information purportedly obtained through the RTI (Right to Information) claiming that PM Modi’s visit to Morbi after the bridge collapse cost Rs 30 crore.
