An Enforcement Directorate (ED) court on Friday framed charges against 10 accused in the multi-crore drug racket and money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The charges have been framed against accused Ajay Jain, Devinder Singh Nirwal, Suresh Kumar, Harmesh Kumar Gabha, Khushwant Gabha, Sudesh Rani, Chunni Lal Gabha, Gurjit Kumar, Gurmesh Kumar and Rekha.

The ED court order said, “From the investigation conducted by the ED along with all documents annexed therewith, there is sufficient material to frame charges under Section 3/4 of the PMLA and to put all accused to trial, including accused Ajay Jain.”

Pertinently, Jain had moved an application seeking disposal of the charges against him, but the ED court dismissed the application and framed the charges.

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).
