Jaipur: Even as Congress is vocally demanding Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's resignation over the former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi controversy, a senior advocate will file a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate in connection with alleged money laundering by former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot's son.
Vaibhav Gehlot is accused of financial impropriety and of receiving black money from a Mauritius based firm.
In a major embarrassment for the Narendra Modi government, new revelations had showed that Vasundhara allegedly helped Lalit Modi get permit to stay in the United Kingdom. She allegedly filed application backing Modi in 2011 when she was the leader of the opposition in the state Assembly.
Her government had also signed an Memorandum of Understanding with the Portugal hospital where Modi's wife was treated. The government signed an MoU with Lisbon-based Champalimaud Foundation and it was done in the presence of the Chief Minister.
A public interest litigation (PIL) was also filed against Lalit Modi and Vasundhara's son Dushyant Singh, who reportedly floated a company called Niyant Heritage Hotels Pvt Ltd during Vasundhara's first tenure as Rajasthan Chief Minister.
According to lawyer Poonam Chand Bhandari, who filed the PIL, Lalit Modi's Anand Heritage Hotels gave unsecured loans worth Rs 3.80 crore to Dushyant Singh's company.
The lawyer also claimed that the former IPL chief bought shares worth Rs 10 in Dushyant's company at a premium of more than Rs 96,000 each.
