Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 24: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti will appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Thursday in connection with a money laundering case, sources in the party said. The sources said Mufti will appear before the ED at its Srinagar office on Thursday to face questioning in the case. The PDP president did not appear before the agency in Delhi on Monday, saying that she had prior commitments that could not be cancelled. She requested the ED officials to question her in Srinagar and not in Delhi and her request was accepted, the sources said.
The 61-year-old leader, who was released last year after more than a year in detention following the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, was served a notice to appear at the ED headquarters in the national capital. On March 19, the Delhi High Court had refused to stay summons issued to her after she moved the court seeking quashing of the summons in the case. |
