A PIL was today filed in the Delhi High Court seeking a probe by Enforcement Directorate into alleged money laundering by former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's son, son-in-law and daughter-in-law in conspiracy with a company owned by Ex-IPL chief Lalit Modi.
A similar plea was dismissed yesterday by Justice V K Jain after Poonam Chand Bhandari, a lawyer who has filed the instant PIL, failed to convince the court about his interest in the case.
"If this is a PIL, then file a proper PIL. If it is not, then show what is your locus. What is your personal interest?" Justice Jain had said while rejecting the plea.
Bhandari today filed a fresh plea in the form of a PIL alleging huge funds were diverted from Modi-owned Anand Heritage Hotels Pvt Ltd to Niyant Heritage Hotels Pvt ltd which is owned by Raje's son-in-law.
The PIL alleged that despite several complaints to the authorities, including the ED and Stock Exchange Board, no action has been taken.
"How money is routed through money laundering. This is a typical case of siphoning of money...Modi transferred shares to Raje's relatives," it alleged.
