A special PMLA court in Gurugram has issued non-bailable warrants against Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhokar and his two sons in a case of alleged money laundering and taking license for a housing project with a fake bank guarantee. The court issued the arrest warrants on a plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after a case was registered against Sai Aina Farm Private Limited, now known as Mahira Infratech Pvt Ltd, for using a fake bank guarantee to develop a residential society on 10 acres in Sector 68.

The ED’s investigation revealed that the company had collected around Rs 360 crore from home buyers but failed to deliver the houses. It also found evidence of the company siphoning off the money of home buyers by booking fake construction expenditure in group entities. The directors of Mahira Group allegedly received cash equivalent to the fake purchases from the entities and used it for their personal gains. Additionally, personal family expenditures were booked as construction expenditure in group entities, and the directors diverted the money collected from home buyers to other group entities as loans.

The ED filed the application for the execution of non-bailable warrants on August 16, stating that the accused had committed a serious offence and sufficient grounds for issuing arrest warrants had been made out. The agency conducted searches at various premises of the company and found incriminating material against the accused, establishing a prima facie case to proceed further with the investigation.

In response to the warrants, Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhokar and his sons, Vikas and Sikander Singh, could face arrest by the authorities. The case highlights the need for strict action against those involved in money laundering and fraudulent activities in the real estate sector.
