ED attaches Delhi farmhouse owned by Misa Bharti

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday attached a farmhouse owned by RJD chief Lalu Yadav's daughter Misa Bharti in Delhi's Bijwasan locality.

The ED decided to attach the farmhouse located in Delhi's Bijwasan as the central agency was not convinced by Misa and her husband Shailesh's response during the investigation in a money laundering case.The CBI had earlier conducted multiple searches against RJD leader Lalu Prasad and his family in connection with several cases of corruption and money laundering against them.

The ED, too, had earlier raided three premises belonging to Misa Bharti and her husband in connection with a money laundering case probe against them. The officials of the central probe agency had swooped on three farmhouses located in posh localities of Ghitorni, Bijwasan and Sainik Farms earlier.

Of the three farmhouses, one is registered in the name of Bharti, her husband Shailesh Kumar and the third one in the name of M/s Mishail Printers and Packers Private Limited. During the searches, the agency said, "incriminating" documents, electronic devices, including phones, have been seized. Bharti and Shailesh were also questioned about certain documents recovered during the raids.
