Charges of money-laundering were framed Saturday against two former Jharkhand ministers who are in jail for the last two years in cases of corruption.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) framed the charges against Enos Ekka and Hari Narayan Rai in Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court of G.K. Singh so that the trial in the cases could start. Both the former ministers were present in court.
“The charges include amassing assets worth crores of rupees in illegal way. The charges against Ekka and Rai are that they laundered Rs.13.88 crore and Rs.4.83 crore, respectively,” counsel for ED S.R. Das told reporters.
