The agency, which has earlier recorded the statement of his wife Jahan Ara under the provisions of anti-money laundering laws in the case, will confront Kazmi with the documents it has received from his wife and through official channels.

The senior journalist is at present in police custody.

ED had questioned his wife about the remittances of more than Rs 18 lakh into her accounts and also about those funds received in Kazmi's accounts.

Jahan Ara, according to sources, had told the investigators that all the remittances are legitimate transfers by her elder son from overseas locations including from Dubai.

 

She had said that her son was employed there and was sending savings from his salary.

ED is scrutinising documents submitted by her and reports from banks and other sources of these transactions which are under the scanner. A final report will be prepared after this, sources said. PTI NES
