Second charge sheet filed against Misa, her husband
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a second charge sheet against RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s daughter Misa Bharti and her husband in a money laundering case before a Delhi court, which on Saturday kept both charge sheets for consideration on February 5.
Irked over the repeated filing of charge sheets by the ED in connection with its money laundering probe against Bharti and her husband Shailesh Kumar, Special Judge NK Malhotra berated the agency for not letting the trial begin.
“Will you let the trial begin or keep filing complaints? How many supplementary charge sheets will you file? You cannot behave like this. It is an illdrafted complaint,” the judge said. The court, which could not take cognisance of the charge sheet filed on December 23, 2017, posted the matter for February 5 for considering both the charge sheets after ED special counsel Atul Tripathi sought time to make further submissions in the matter.
Advocate Vijay Aggarwal, representing chartered accountant Rajesh Agrawal, who was also arrested by the ED in connection with the case, sought adjournment citing pendency of bail plea of brothers Surendra Kumar Jain and Virendra Jain, who have been accused of laundering crores of rupees using shell companies.
