New revelation in Codeine cough syrup case
Lucknow: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is continuously expanding the scope of its investigation into the cough syrup syndicate case that surfaced in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
In this high-profile case, the ED has once again summoned the family members of Shubham Jaiswal, who is being described as the mastermind.
The agency has called Shubham's mother and sister for questioning again next week, which is expected to lead to new revelations in the case.
A major revelation has emerged in the ED's investigation: Shubham Jaiswal had opened several fake companies and firms in the names of his mother and sister to conceal his illegal activities.
It is suspected that money related to the illegal cough syrup trade was routed through these firms. The investigating agency believes that money laundering was also carried out through these companies.
Investigation of documents, bank accounts, and properties
The ED has summoned the family members with all the documents related to the firms, bank account details, and property records for questioning.
The agency is trying to find out how much money was transferred to which accounts and in which properties the illegal money was invested. Further legal action will be decided based on these facts.
Previous Questioning
It is noteworthy that this is not the first time the ED has questioned Shubham Jaiswal's family members; the agency has questioned them before.
However, a fresh summons has been issued after new evidence and information have come to light. According to sources, this time the questioning may be more detailed and rigorous. Action may intensify in the coming days.
Probe Continues
ED officials say that the investigation in this case related to the cough syrup syndicate is still ongoing, and more major revelations may emerge in the coming days.
If the role of family members is found to be suspicious, strict action may be taken against them as well. The case is being closely monitored at both the state and central levels.
