The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned AAP Punjab MLA Raman Arora for questioning in a money laundering case linked to alleged possession of disproportionate assets next week here, officials said on Monday.
Arora is a legislator from the Jalandhar Central assembly seat. Officials said he has been asked to depose before the central agency on June 2 at the ED office in Jalandhar, following which his statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The MLA was earlier arrested and charge-sheeted by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau in a case of alleged possession of disproportionate assets worth Rs 1.10 crore, according to the officials. There are allegations against him of extortion from shops and other establishments, they claimed.
