The Supreme Court will hear today a plea filed by journalist Rana Ayyub challenging the summons issued to her by the Ghaziabad court in Uttar Pradesh in relation to a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
In October last year, the ED had filed a complaint against Rana Ayyub before the Ghaziabad court over alleged violations in publicly raising funds.
Enforcement Directorate had registered the case on the basis of a complaint registered in September 2021 in Ghaziabad under provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Information Technology Amendment Act and Black Money Act against Ayyub.
It was alleged in the FIR that
Rana Ayyub illegally acquired funds from the general public in the name of charity by launching fundraiser campaigns.
