PMLA case against Virbhadra: Court asks ED to file status report

A special court on Thursday asked the ED to file a status report in a case against Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) agent Anand Chauhan accused of investing former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh's "tainted" money in LIC policies.

Special Judge Santosh Snehi Mann, who had earlier granted time to the ED for filing of its supplementary charge sheet in the case, passed the order after the agency sought extension of the period by one month.

"File the status report first regarding what has happened so far. Give me details of entire process of the probe so far in writing. I would like to know what has happened," the court said.

The ED had earlier filed a charge sheet against Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) agent Anand Chauhan in the case and told the court that the investigation was going on against other accused persons in the matter.
