In the ongoing money laundering case against fugitive Mehul Choksi, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has claimed for the first time that his son Rohan Choksi was also involved in this case. This claim has been made before the Appellate Tribunal for Forfeited Property (ATFP) in Delhi.
According to sources, Mehul Choksi’s son Rohan Choksi had appealed against the attachment of a property located in Mumbai. This property was attached by ED in 2018. Rohan said that this property belonged to his family trust and was purchased in 1994, but ED told the tribunal that Mehul Choksi had transferred this property to his son’s name in 2013 so that if the fraud came to light, the properties could be saved.
