The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached the property of former chief minister of Haryana Om Prakash Chautala worth nearly Rs 2 crore on charges of laundering money. The case was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered by CBI against 84-year-old Om Prakash Chautala and others for acquiring assets disproportionate to their known source of income. CBI has filed a charge sheet against Om Prakash Chautala and his sons Abhay Chautala and Ajay Chautala under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Om Prakash Chautala, the agency said, was directly involved in acquiring and projecting various tainted properties as his untainted properties. Before that, properties worth Rs 3.68 crore were also attached in April this year.
