Evading ED summons
The Ed has stated that “During the investigation, it was revealed that Anil Jaisinghani was involved in cricket betting activities and had accumulated huge sums of money through his fraudulent activities, through persons connected with Maruti-Ahmedabad, an entity engaged in betting activities.” Jaisinghani had been evading ED summons from 2015 and a Special PMLA court issued a non-bailable warrant against Jaisinghani. Despite this Jaisinghani did not cooperate with ongoing PMLA investigation. He was arrested in a money laundering case related to IPL betting by ED on April 8, 2023. The agency had filed a charge sheet on June 6 before a Special PMLA court in Ahmedabad, while a search was carried out at his premises on June 9.
