New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is all set to file its status report pertaining to the alleged dubious financial dealings of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh before the Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday.
“The central probe agency suspects that Punjab and Rajasthan-based hawala dealers played a crucial role in laundering funds of the sect. The ED has also collected details about the assets of Dera Sacha Sauda sect,” sources said. The high court had recently asked the ED and income tax department to look into the allegations of money laundering in the functioning of Dera Sacha Sauda sect.
The ED will soon register a case against the Dera and Ram Rahim under The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). “There are allegations that dera chief floated ghost companies for money laundering,” sources said.
