Jalandhar/New Delhi, Sep 8 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate has issued a summons to the Mohali senior superintendent of police (SSP) to elicit information in a money laundering probe linked to a case of alleged cheating of some farmers in the Suntec City Project, officials said on Tuesday.
The SSP has been asked to furnish the documents on September 10 at the ED office in Jalandhar.
The ED’s probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) pertains to a case of alleged cheating of farmers in receiving consideration for their land in a case related to a real estate project named Suntec City.
The central agency arrested realtor Ajay Sehgal in May as part of this probe, which also pertains to the submission of fake consent letters for obtaining Change of Land Use (CLU) certificates from the Punjab government.
Sehgal was the secretary of the Indian Cooperative House Building Society (ICHBS).
The money laundering case stems from an FIR registered by the Punjab Police in November 2022 on a complaint of farmers whose consent was “forged” to obtain the CLU.
Officials said the ED sought details of the investigation conducted by the Mohali Police in the case on three occasions in August.
The request was preceded by four letters and emails ED sent between July and August informing the police about its findings.
Since no response came from the police, including registration of any new offences, a summons for submission of documents was issued to the SSP Mohali, officials said. PTI NES VN VN
