Probe: ED summons Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra’s sons in paper leak probe | Jaipur News

JAIPUR: The ED summoned on Thursday Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra’s two sons in a paper leak-linked cash probe, just a week after their homes and that of a party candidate were searched in the election-bound state.
Abhilash has been told to appear for questioning on November 7 and Avinash on November 8 at the ED’s Delhi office, a senior agency official said.The ED is probing a possible money laundering angle in the 2021paper leak case of the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers.
Speaking at a rally at Fatehpur hours later, Dotasra renewed his charge that the BJP-led Centre was using ED to intimidate rivals. “It is the people who help you win poll, not agencies like the ED. Why is the ED not touching (state BJP leaders) Rajendra Rathore and Subash Meharia, who have 1,000 times more properties,” Dotasra said.
Meharia is contesting against Dotasra from Lachhmangarh.
On October 26, the ED had combed the premises of Dotasara as well as those of his sons in the presence of central forces. The searches were part of a larger swoop spread across 11 locations in the state, including the premises linked to Omprakash Hudla, an outgoing MLA and Congress candidate from the Mahuwa seat this time.
Dotasra had later claimed the ED officials did not ask him a single question, nor record his statement. “They could not take away even Re 1 or find any illegal document. All they seized was my phone, those of my sons and emails,” Dotasra had said. Soon after the searches rolled, Dotsara had posted “Satyameva Jayate” on X.
