The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday arrested Jharkhand Mining Secretary Pooja Singhal in connection with money laundering case for allegedly embezzling MGNREGA funds in the State.
The agency had earlier summoned Ms. Singhal for questioning at its Ranchi office. The statement of her husband, Abhishek Jha, was also recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), after the ED arrested Chartered Accountant Suman Kumar following seizure of about ₹18 crore in cash during the searches last week.
