Adarsh scam: Case registered against Ashok Chavan

Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered case of money laundering against former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan and 12 others in connection with the Adarsh scam today.

The Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) says that Ashok Chavan, then the Revenue Minister, was part of the criminal conspiracy with other accused to include civilians as member of the Adarsh society with ulterior motive to make his relatives members.

The ED told the Bombay High Court that they can take further action only after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) completes its investigation. The CBI, in its reply, told the court that it will complete its investigation by June 15.
The ED's move comes a few days after the Maharashtra government-appointed judicial commission concluded that the controversial land in Mumbai belonged to the state government and was not meant for the families of Kargil War martyrs, as claimed by the Army.
