ED to probe money laundering links of Rohith Reddy\'s kin

HYDERABAD: Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials, who suspect that there were transactions between family members of BRS legislator ‘Pilot’ Rohith Reddy and key accused in MLAs poachgate case K. Nanda Kumar, are likely to serve notice on some more businessmen to establish alleged money laundering links.

The officials, who obtained permission from the court to question Nanda Kumar, will record his statement at Chanchalguda central prison on his transactions with Rohith Reddy's brother Reetesh Reddy. The 7 Hills Manikchand products businessman, Abhishek Avala, who was questioned by the ED recently, allegedly informed them about his business links with Nanda Kumar and Reetesh Reddy.
Avala allegedly invested a huge amount in a business with the assistance of Nanda Kumar. The investigation agency is looking into this angle, also.
Reetesh Reddy is controversial for indulging in pub brawls. A few years ago, he allegedly assaulted singer Rahul Sipligunj and a case was registered against him.

Earlier, the ED officials questioned Rohith Reddy by collecting his details about PAN, Aadhaar, properties belonging to him and his family members.

Rohith Reddy is the complainant in MLAs poachgate case and his security has been increased following threat perception.
