Raj Kundra reaches ED in Mumbai for questioning

Raj Kundra, businessman, and husband of actor Shilpa Shetty, reached the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Mumbai on Wednesday. It is expected that Raj Kundra will be questioned by the investigating agency. Earlier, Republic TV had reported that Kundra would be called in for questioning by the ED in relation to the Iqbal Mirchi case. READ| Raj Kundra summoned by ED in Iqbal Mirchi Case, must appear on 4th Nov On October 23, Republic TV reported on a Raj Kundra linked company's alleged business links which raised serious questions. As per information with Republic TV, Kundra had links with a company that had business dealings with a company that had links to individuals like Ranjeet Bindra who is presently in agency custody in relation to the Iqbal Mirchi case. After Republic TV put out the report, Kundra took to Twitter to present his version of the case. Here was his initial response: Hearing the news & trial by media as always. For the haters & well wishers just stating some facts: In 2011 I sold a plot that I owned near the airport including the company to RKW developers. Everything is documented & verified by my CA.This is the be all and end all of the deal — Raj Kundra (@TheRajKundra) October 23, 2019 Cont..Any loans given to the company in question was after we sold the company to the new owner. We sold a zero debt company! We have never taken a single loan it was taken by the new owners of the company! #Facts media kindly stop making stories! Try & speak the truth sometimes! — Raj Kundra (@TheRajKundra) October 23, 2019 READ| Raj Kundra breaks silence on deals with company under ED scanner During the prime time debate with Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami, Kundra had even admitted to business relations with Bindra. On live television, Kundra said, “He (Bindra) was the owner of the company. We have bought into a restaurant that he created so we bought into that chain." While it is unclear as to what the line of questioning of the ED to Kundra will be about, the fact of the matter is that there seem to be several unanswered questions in the public domain. The Iqbal Mirchi case has been moving thick and fast vis-a-vis the investigating agencies. While a Bollywood linked public personality angle is now seemingly coming to the fore in the investigation, previously the ED had also questioned NCP leader Praful Patel for certain alleged transactions. Iqbal Mirchi was known to be an aide and associate of underworld don and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim. Mirchi was also an accused in the 1993 Bombay Blasts case.
