Mehbooba Mufti appears before ED in Srinagar

March 25, 2021 12:31

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case, officials said.

Mufti reached the ED office in Rajbagh at 11 am to face questioning in the case, they said.

The Peoples Democratic Party president did not appear before the agency in Delhi on Monday, citing she had prior commitments that could not be cancelled.

Her request to ED officials that she be questioned in Srinagar instead of Delhi was accepted.

The 61-year-old leader, who was released last year after more than a year in detention following the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, was served a notice to appear at the ED headquarters in the national capital.

On March 19, the Delhi high court had refused to stay summons issued to her after she moved the court seeking quashing of the summons in the case.
