Haryana Congress ex-MLA Chhokar arrested by ED in Rs 1,500 crore money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested former Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhokar in connection with a Rs 1500 crore money laundering case.

He was taken into custody from a hotel in Delhi early Monday morning.

Chhokar, a prominent political figure from Samalkha in Haryana, has served as an MLA twice from the constituency.

This arrest follows earlier action by the ED, which had previously arrested his son, Sikander Chhokar, in the same case. The agency suspects large-scale financial irregularities and the use of shell companies to launder money.

The case is part of an ongoing investigation into illegal financial activities allegedly involving real estate and other sectors.

More details are awaited.
