ED files chargesheet against Punit Garg
Change
The Enforcement Directorate filed a PMLA chargesheet naming ex‑RCOM executive Punit Garg and Vaishali Jairam Mane in a ₹40,000‑crore bank loan fraud case.
Why it matters
Filing a PMLA chargesheet before the Rouse Avenue special court formally opens criminal proceedings against the named individuals. The ED links allegedly laundered proceeds from the ₹40,000‑crore loan fraud to transactions including a Manhattan condominium purchase, making those assets and related transfers subject to the agency's probe and court scrutiny. Further disposal or unmonitored transfer of the identified assets is now constrained pending legal proceedings.
Implications
- · PMLA prosecution will proceed in the Rouse Avenue special court against the named accused.
- · The Manhattan condominium purchase is identified in the chargesheet as proceeds linked to the alleged fraud and thus subject to the probe's
Who is affected
- · Enforcement Directorate (investigators/prosecutors)
- · Named individuals (former RCOM executives and associated directors)
- · Resolution professionals and creditors of RCOM
