The Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister was haunted continuously by the cash-for-jobs scam dating back to 2014.

Sources said notices were served to Xiaomi Technology India Private Limited, the two executives, CITI Bank, HSBC Bank and Deutsche Bank AG.

The investigating agency said in a statement that the searches were carried out on June 1 at seven of their locations in Delhi and Gurugram.

BJP MP Meena accused Gehlot of whitewashing corruption by taking action against the “small fish” in the paper leaks but leaving out “big names”.

Bank accounts of the agent were scrutinised and it was found that he used to take cash from the gullible public in the guise of providing them work permits abroad.

The probe, being conducted under various sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), is against the Kallal Group and the UK-based Lyca group and its Indian companies Lyca Productions and Lyca Hotels, the ED said.

These online gaming companies are registered in small island countries like Curacao, Malta and Cyprus.

Both were part of Arvind Kejriwal’s anti-corruption movement; while Mishra used to live with Sanjay Singh’s family, Tyagi drives the MP's car.

It is pointless for BJP sources to claim that all of these are just legal actions. Then the question arises how it would apply to only opposition leaders and their supporters.

The ED had raided the firm’s office in Bengaluru in April and the probe revealed that the company was part of a complex web of entities having a controlling company in the Cayman Islands.
