ED summons Rajiv Ekka on March 27

Ranchi: The enforcement directorate (ED) has summoned principal secretary Rajiv Arun Ekka on March 27 for questioning him in connection with the MNREGA scam and money laundering case. Earlier, the ED had summoned Ekka to appear on Wednesday last week. The officer, however, requested the ED to call him after March 24 as the budget session was underway. Sources said the ED is likely to question Ekka on documentary evidence it seized during searches carried out in the house of suspected power broker, Vishal Choudhary, in May 2022 in Ranchi.
