ED charges former Cong MLA’s son, Mahira Group in PMLA case
The Gurugram regional office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint (PC) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Sikandar Singh, son of former Congress MLA from Samalkha Dharam Singh Chhokkar, as well as Mahira Infratech Pvt Ltd and DS Home Construction Pvt Ltd. A special court took cognisance of the complaint on December 5.
The ED announced on X (formerly Twitter) on December 10 that the PC was filed on June 26, with the court acknowledging it earlier this month. According to the ED's investigation, the Mahira Group and its associate companies collected Rs 616.41 crore from thousands of homebuyers for affordable housing projects in Sectors 68, 103, and 104 of Gurugram.
Despite receiving the funds, the group failed to deliver homes to buyers within the promised deadlines. The investigation revealed that the collected amount was misused for personal gains. Following multiple complaints, the ED conducted raids on July 25, 2023, at several premises linked to the accused, seizing significant documentary evidence.
This development comes as a major blow to the Mahira Group and its associates, raising serious concerns about accountability in real estate projects.
