The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Rajiv Arun Ekka, senior IAS officer and former Principal Secretary to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, in a money laundering case on Monday.
Rajiv Ekka reached the Ranchi office of the central probe agency at around 11 am today. This was the second summons that Ekka received, as he had skipped the first one.The summons came after Babulal Marandi, a BJP leader, released a video clip that raised trouble for Ekka. In the video, Ekka was seen disposing of government files from the office of a suspect in the case. The suspect, Vishal Choudhary, had faced an ED raid in May last year. Sources told India Today that during the raid on Choudhary, the ED gathered electronic evidence and on that basis, a summons was sent to Rajiv Ekka.
