The ED today said it had seized two prime properties worth over Rs 32 crore in connection with a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) case against a Mumbai-based woman for allegedly holding undisclosed assets abroad.

The FEMA probe revealed that Jaya Patel, daughter of late Parmanand Tulsidas Patel, had “illegally amassed” properties in foreign countries like the USA and the UK, it said. “Searches were conducted at the residential and office premises of Jaya Patel and her associate, which resulted in the seizure of incriminating documents about the illegal acquisition of undisclosed foreign assets,” the ED said in the statement.

Jaya, it said, is the beneficial owner of a flat at Chelsea Embankment, London, valued at 15,25,000 pound and another in Central Park, New York, valued at $25,60,000. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
