The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday recorded the statement of Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge in a case involving the Associated Journals Limited (AJL) and Young Indian.
“Mr. Kharge is one of the office-bearers of the AJL and, therefore, his statement had to be recorded. The case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was registered about eight months ago, based on the cognisance of the matter taken by a court concerned,” said an official.
The move comes days after the Delhi Bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal upheld the Income Tax re-assessment order against Young Indian.
