NEW DELHI: The ED on Monday arrested Ramesh Chandra, founder of the Unitech group, and his daughter-in law Preeti Chandra, wife of Sanjay Chandra who is currently in jail in a money laundering case against the group.
The agency has also arrested Rajesh Malik, an executive of Carnoustie Management (India) Pvt which is allegedly linked to the case, officials said.
Chandra’s two sons, Ajay and Sanjay, are lodged in Mumbai’s Taloja jail after the SC directed that they be shifted from Tihar jail when the ED approached it with evidence of them running a secret office, laundering homebuyers’ money.
The SC took note of the fact that the brothers were conducting business from Tihar by conniving with jail staff. The ED has alleged that the brothers and the group illegally diverted Rs 2,000 crore to Cyprus and Cayman Islands.
