In continuation of the ongoing investigation into the alleged money laundering connected to Delhi liquor scam, Enforcement Directorate authorities conducted searches at different places here in Hyderabad, including the office of a Telugu news daily.
ED officials did not make any official announcement confirming the reports of the searches conducted on the media house office. However, sources with local police said that special teams of ED officials drove into the office of the newspaper and searched the premises.
Speculation was rife that persons connected to Delhi liquor scam transferred huge sums of money to those persons who were playing key role in running the said office. Meanwhile, another team of officials reportedly went to the place of the newspaper owner and questioned him for sometime with regard to reports of transfer of money.
