Ashok Gehlot's Son To Be Questioned In Foreign Exchange Violation Case

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav has been summoned by Enforcement Directorate in a foreign exchange violation case.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav has been summoned by Enforcement Directorate in a foreign exchange violation case, just weeks ahead of assembly elections in the state.

The case came under the ED scanner after two Jaipur residents submitted a complaint in 2015 stating that Vaibhav Gehlot routed illegal funds from a Mauritius-based firm named 'Shivnar Holdings' - suspected to be a shell company. According to the complaint, the funds were diverted from the Mauritius-based firm to Triton Hotels in 2011 by buying 2,500 shares of the hotel.

Earlier this year, BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena had  filed a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate, alleging that some business ventures were being used to launder Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's black money. The complaint against CM's son Vaibhav Gehlot and a man described as the younger Gehlot's business associate sought action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
