Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav
Gehlot appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in Delhi for questioning in
a foreign exchange violation case on Monday.
The federal agency had issued a summons to Vaibhav
Gehlot to appear before the investigating officer of the case, at its
headquarters on APJ Abdul Kalam road, under the provisions of the Foreign
Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
The summons are linked to recent ED raids against
Rajasthan based hospitality group Triton Hotels & Resorts Pvt Ltd, Vardha
Enterprises Pvt Ltd and its directors and promoters Shiv Shankar Sharma, Rattan
Kant Sharma and others.
The agency had searched the group and its promoters
for three days in August at locations in Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai and Delhi.
Rattan Kant Sharma’s alleged links with Vaibhav Gehlot
are under the scanner of the ED and the agency is expected to question and
record his statement under FEMA. He has been a business partner of Vaibhav
Gehlot in a car rental company in the past.
The senior Gehlot and the Congress party had called
this ED action politically motivated.
