Briefing after his release from the Patiala jail, Khaira said: “The ED while raiding our premises on March 9 last year let loose a plethora of allegations targeting my father as an international drug kingpin, having fake passports, illegal foreign currency/donations, amassing ill-gotten wealth through drug money, etc. In its challan, it has failed miserably to prove any of these charges. The ED has assumed the role of a mere ‘income tax inspector’.”
