The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday said it has filed a chargesheet against Uttarakhand Congress leader and former minister Harak Singh Rawat and his wife, in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged usurping of two land parcels in Dehradun, the market value of which is more than Rs 70 crore.

This comes after the ED filed a chargesheet against Robert Vadra, a businessman and relative of Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Chhattisgarh’s ex-CM and current Congress MLA Bhupesh Baghel’s son, Chaitanya Baghel, in a money laundering case. The Chhattisgarh Congress on Saturday also announced it will stage an economic blockade across the state on July 22.

Those named in the chargesheet include Harak Singh Rawat, his wife Deepti Rawat, his alleged associate Birendra Singh Kandari, Laxmi Singh Rana and the Smt. Poorna Devi Memorial Trust. The federal probe agency said in a statement that the prosecution complaint was filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PLA) court in the state capital, Dehradun. According to ED investigations, Birendra Singh Kandari and Harak Singh Rawat got lands registered in the names of their relatives, Deepti Rawat and Laxmi Rana.
