A Delhi court on Tuesday summoned industrialist and Congress leader Naveen Jindal along with 14 others as accused for alleged money laundering in a case pertaining to irregularities in allocation of a Jharkhand coal block.

Special Judge Bharat Parashar directed them to appear in the court on October 15, saying prima facie there was enough evidence to summon them as accused.

“In view of the averments made in the complaint (ED’s chargesheet), I take cognisance of the offence under Section 3 (money laundering) punishable under Section 4 (punishment for money laundering) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against all 15 accused persons,” the judge said.

The others summoned include Jindal Steel and Power Ltd’s then adviser Anand Goel, Essar Power Ltd’s executive vice-chairman Sushil Kumar Maroo, Nihar Stocks Ltd’s director BSN Suryanarayan, Mumbai-based KE International’s chief financial officer Rajeev Aggarwal and Gurgaon-based Green Infra’s vice-president Siddharth Madra.
