Ex-Cong MLA Chhoker arrested from hotel in Rs 1,500-cr money laundering case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday morning arrested former Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhokar in connection with a Rs 1500 crore money laundering case.
He was taken into custody from a hotel in Delhi.
Sources described ED officials received a late-evening tip-off that Chhokar—wanted in a Rs 363 crore money laundering case—was spotted at Grappa, the hotel’s plush ground-floor bar.
ED joint director Navaneet Agrawal from Gurgaon zone arrived at the hotel.
Minutes later, he locked eyes on Chhokar at the bar. As more ED officials reached the spot and informed Chhokar about the seven non-bailable warrants issued against him, the situation escalated.
