Amaravati: Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a notice to YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) senior leader and Member of Parliament PV Midhun Reddy in connection with the Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.
The central agency has asked him to appear for questioning on January 23, intensifying the probe into alleged money laundering and fund diversion linked to the case.
ED summons YSRCP MP
According to ED sources, Midhun Reddy has been summoned in connection with suspicions that he played a key role in the liquor scam.
The agency is probing allegations of large-scale illegal financial transactions, particularly through hawala channels, as part of a money laundering operation.
Focus on Money Laundering Allegations
Investigators are examining claims that substantial funds were laundered through complex financial routes. The ED is said to be closely scrutinising the movement and diversion of funds, with a focus on identifying beneficiaries and the broader financial network involved in the alleged scam.
Political circles on edge
The issuance of a notice to another sitting MP has triggered intense discussion in political circles. With the ED already questioning several individuals in the case, the latest move has heightened tension within YSRCP ranks.
Political observers believe more key developments could follow in the coming days as the investigation progresses.
Vijay Sai Reddy already summoned
It may be recalled that the ED had earlier issued a notice to former MP Vijay Sai Reddy, directing him to appear for questioning on January 22. His summons, followed closely by the notice to Midhun Reddy, underscores the widening scope of the agency’s inquiry.
Probe continues
The Enforcement Directorate has stated that its investigation into illegal financial transactions, fund diversion, and money laundering linked to the AP liquor scam is ongoing.
Officials indicated that further action would depend on the outcome of the ongoing examinations and evidence gathered.
