Supreme Court to Hear Rana Ayyub Petition Challenging Summons of PMLA Issued by ED

The Supreme Court will hear, today the petition filed by journalist Rana Ayyub  challenging the summons issued to her by the Ghaziabad court in Uttar Pradesh in connection with a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered against her.

Earlier, ED had filed a case against Rana Ayyub in the Ghaziabad court in October 2022 for alleged violations in publicly raising funds.

The FIR alleged that she illegally acquired funds from the general public in the name of charity by launching fundraising campaigns.

A complaint against Ayyub that was filed in Ghaziabad in September 2021 under provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Information Technology Amendment Act, and Black Money Act led to the registration of the case by the ED.

It was also alleged in the FIR that Ayyub received donations from abroad without registering under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
