ED raids premises of Haryana MLA Gopal Kanda in money laundering probe
Gurugram (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted searches at the premises of Haryana MLA Gopal Kanda and others as part of a money laundering investigation, official sources said.
Officials of the central agency reached Kanda's palatial house and his now defunct airline company MDLR's office in the civil lines area of Gurugram around 6 am, police said.
The raids are being undertaken under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and some premises in Delhi and Sirsa are also being covered, as per the sources.
The case in which he is being investigated is not known. Kanda, 57, is an MLA from Sirsa from Haryana Lokhit Party -- a political outfit floated by him. He has in the past been a former minister for home, industries and urban local bodies of the state.
The politician was recently acquitted by a Delhi court in the high-profile case of abetment of suicide by Geetika Sharma, a former air hostess in the MDLR airlines.
It is understood that Kanda had earlier met ED officials in connection with this probe.

Justice Nagamohan Das Commission hands to government interim report on internal reservation for Dali
Bengaluru: The single-member Commission headed by retired judge Justice HN Nagamohan Das on Thursday submitted to the state government its interim report in relation to providing internal reservation to Dalits.
Speaking on the interim report after handing the document to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Justice Das said that the 104-page document had been readied over a period of two months. He also said that, since the Commission had voluntarily submitted an interim report on internal reservation to Dalits, it was also expectant regarding the reaction of government.
He stressed that job seekers should get employment, adding that the panel had remained silent on the issue of appointments and that the government would decide on the matter. The Commission chief, however, said that the government is yet to respond to the report.
The Commission interim report was handed to the CM in the presence of Minister for Social Welfare HC Mahadevappa, Food and Civil Supplies Minister KH Muniyappa, Excise Minister RB Thimmapur and former minister H Anjaneya.
The single-member Commission was formed by the Karnataka government in November to conduct a survey related to providing internal reservation.
