S M A Kazmi, the journalist arrested for his alleged role in the Israeli car blast in the capital, and his wife may face a money laundering case if alleged foreign remittances of over Rs 21 lakh to their bank accounts turn out to be illegal, say sources in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigating genuineness of the transfers.
“We are investigating the transfers of funds. The amount seems to have been transferred over a period of time. We are checking the genuineness of the transfers. If we find something fishy, we will register a case,” said a senior ED official.
Delhi Police commissioner B K Gupta claimed on Friday that Kazmi and his wife had received foreign remittances of Rs 3.80 lakh and Rs 18,78,500 separately but they could not satisfactorily explain the source of the amount. However, Kazmi’s family and their counsel, Vijay Aggarwal, have said “the transfers were made by his family members”.
