Overview

  • A Delhi court accepted the Enforcement Directorate's closure report, ending its 13-year investigation into alleged money laundering tied to the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
  • The court ruled that no offence under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) was established, citing a lack of proceeds of crime.
  • The ED's probe, initiated in 2013, was based on a prior CBI case that was closed in 2014 due to insufficient evidence of corruption.
  • The case centered on allegations of financial misconduct in awarding two contracts, which reportedly caused a ₹30 crore loss to the Games Organising Committee.
  • Congress leaders have demanded apologies from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal, accusing them of defaming the party with unsubstantiated allegations.
