ED receives copies of documents in alleged ‘horse-trading’ case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has reportedly received copies of essential documents linked to an ongoing investigation into alleged political horse-trading. The move signals the central agency's entry into a case that has drawn significant public and legal attention.

Initial reports indicate that the ED is focused on identifying the financial trail and probing the money laundering angle associated with the incident. This development follows a preliminary investigation conducted by local law enforcement agencies into the suspected irregularities.

The police had previously seized ₹60 lakh in unaccounted cash from one of the primary suspects involved in the matter. Authorities are currently verifying the source and intended destination of these funds as part of the broader inquiry into the alleged influence-peddling. Source: The Hindu
