New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav in a foreign exchange violation case, just weeks ahead of Assembly elections in the state.

Two Jaipur residents submitted a complaint in 2015 stating that Vaibhav Gehlot routed illegal funds from a Mauritius-based firm named ‘Shivnar Holdings’ – suspected to be a shell company. According to the complaint, the funds were diverted from the Mauritius-based firm to Triton Hotels in 2011 by buying 2,500 shares of the hotel, NDTV reported.

Earlier this year, BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena had filed a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate, alleging that some business ventures were being used to launder Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s black money. The complaint against CM’s son Vaibhav Gehlot and a man described as the younger Gehlot’s business associate sought action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the report added.

The Enforcement Directorate today also conducted searches at the Jaipur and Sikar homes of Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasara in connection with the alleged leak of exam papers last year for recruitment of government school teachers.
