The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed its first chargesheet in connection with the Delhi Jal Board money laundering case, sources told news agency PTI on Saturday.
The ED filed about-8,000-page-long prosecution complaint in the case which is linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). It was filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Delhi on March 28, the sources said.
“The court has listed the matter for April 1 for taking cognisance of the chargesheet,” they added.

The financial probe agency named four individuals and one company as “accused” in the case. They include former Delhi Jal Board chief engineer Jagdish Kumar Arora, contractor Anil Kumar Agarwal, former NBCC general manager DK Mittal, one Tejinder Singh and NKG Infrastructure Limited.
According to PTI, the ED alleged that bribe money generated from corruption in a contract issued by the DJB was “passed on” as election funds to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi.
The ED sought prosecution of these accused under the Money Laundering Act and informed that it might file supplementary complaints in the future.
