NEW DELHI : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money laundering case against Tablighi Jamaat chief, Maulana Saad, a day after the Delhi police booked him for culpable homicide.
Trouble has been mounting on Saad since the evacuation of the Nizamuddin Markaz on 29 March, where more than 3,500 attendees had congregated, leading to the creation of a hotspot in the National Capital.
While the Union home ministry also blacklisted 960 foreign attendees for flouting visa norms, the financial probe agency has now begun to investigate the money trail of the Jamaat.
On Thursday, the ED filed a case against Saad under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), based on a predicate offence registered by Delhi police on Wednesday.
