Overview

  • A Delhi court has formally accepted the Enforcement Directorate's closure report, ending its 13-year investigation into alleged money laundering linked to the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
  • Special Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal concluded that no offence under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) was found during the ED's probe.
  • The ED's investigation was based on a prior CBI case, which had also been closed in 2014 due to lack of incriminating evidence.
