The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday has summoned Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav Gehlot for questioning in a case connected to alleged contravention of the foreign exchange law.
Vaibhav Gehlot has been asked to depose before the federal agency’s office either in Jaipur or in New Delhi on Friday.
The summons is linked to the recent ED raids against Rajasthan based hospitality group Triton Hotels & Resorts Pvt. Ltd., Vardha Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. and its directors and promoters Shiv Shankar Sharma, Rattan Kant Sharma and others.
The agency searched the group and its promoters for 3 days in August at locations in Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai and Delhi.
Rattan Kant Sharma’s alleged connections with Vaibhav Gehlot are allegedly under the scanner of the ED and it is expected to question and record his statement under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
Unaccounted cash of Rs 1.2 crore was seized by the ED after these searches.
