The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating I-PAC, a political consultancy firm, for alleged money laundering. I-PAC has worked with major political parties like Trinamool and DMK. The investigation is linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal and potential dealings with Vijay Nair, an accused in the Delhi liquor scam.
Ten days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches at several premises in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai on officials of I-PAC, a political consultancy firm whose clients include Trinamool and DMK, the agency on Monday arrested one of its directors and co-founder, Vinesh Chandel.
He will be produced before a special court in Delhi for custodial interrogation.
Chandel's arrest is in connection with ED's ongoing investigation against I-PAC in a money-laundering case linked to an alleged coal scam in the poll-bound West Bengal.
On April 2, ED had searched the premises of Vijay Nair, ex-communication advisor of AAP and one of the accused in the Delhi liquor scam. Sources said Vijay Nair's dealings with I-PAC are under probe and certain transactions are being probed with regards to payments made to the political consultancy firm in the past.
