The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested a chartered accountant in connection with its probe into a Rs 8,000-crore money laundering racket involving two Delhi-based businessmen and a few political entities.
The CA, Rajesh Kumar Agrawal, is also associated with some transactions involving a firm, allegedly linked to RJD chief lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti, which is under scanner for suspected tax evasion, according to officials.
Agarwal has been arrested under provisions of the Prevention of Money laundering Act (PMlA) late last evening, they said.
The officials claimed the CA was "not cooperating" in the probe and he will be subjected to sustained interrogation once they obtain his
custody from a competent court here.
