The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday filed a supplementary chargesheet against Vikramaditya Singh, son of former Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh, as an accused in a money laundering case.
The agency filed the chargesheet before special judge Arvind Kumar and the court has put the matter for consideration on July 24. The agency has also named Virbhadra and his wife Pratibha Singh as an accused in the supplementary chargesheet.
Earlier, the agency had filed a chargesheet against Virbhadra and Pratibha and other accused in the case, but this supplemantary chargesheet explains Vikramaditya's role.
The agency is probing allegations against Singh and his family of having amassed wealth of Rs 6.1 crore, disproportionate to his known sources of income between 2009 and 2011 when he was the Union minister of steel. It has also attached assets worth about Rs 14 crore in this case under the PMLA.
The ED in September 2015 had lodged the case against the former chief minister and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking cognisance of a criminal complaint filed by the CBI.
