The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday searched about a dozen locations linked to the jailed former Uttar Pradesh MLA Mukhtar Ansari and his close aides in connection with a money laundering case.
The searches were carried out in the Dali Bagh area of Lucknow and more than six places in the Ghazipur and Mau districts of Uttar Pradesh. The official residence of Lok Sabha Member Afzal Ansari, the former MLA’s elder brother, was also searched in Delhi. In May, the ED had recorded his statement.
