New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday issued summons to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in connection with forex exchange and money-laundering case against him.
Last week the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had questioned Jagan about his connection with the Reddy-owned Obulapuram Mining Corporation (OMC).
The clearance for mining leases to OMC was given during the tenure of Rajasekhara Reddy as Chief Minister.
CBI had earlier questioned the then cabinet colleagues of late Rajasekhara Reddy in connection with the mining scam as it found that mining leases for OMC were cleared in an unusual haste, sources said.
Kadapa MP Jagan is also facing allegations of amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income as well as alleged dilution of stake of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructural Corporation (APIIC) which is having a joint venture with Emaar for the development of township on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
The CBI registered a case against Jagan on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code pertaining to cheating, criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and under provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.
