The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at four locations of former treasurer of Rajasthan Cricket Association of which Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot is the president.
Former RCA treasurer Krishan Nimawat runs many businesses including Nimawat Public School on Churu road in Fatehpur. He also runs mines in Haryana and has contract of few toll plazas.
He is also president of Sikar district cricket association.
The timing of raids on Nimawat raises fee questions as he is considered close to Vaibhav Gehlot, son of Ashok Gehlot.
ED had summoned Vaibhav Gehlot also
The ED had also summoned Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot in a foreign exchange violation case.
The summon is linked to the recent ED raids against Rajasthan-based hospitality group Triton Hotels & Resorts Pvt. Ltd., Vardha Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. and its directors and promoters Shiv Shankar Sharma, Rattan Kant Sharma and others.
Rattan Kant Sharma's alleged links with Vaibhav Gehlot are under the scanner of the ED and the agency is expected to question and record his statement under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). He has been a business partner of Vaibhav Gehlot in a car rental company in the past.
The BuckStopper, run by a group of seasoned journalists, holds the powerful accountable. The buck stops with them, as they cannot shrug off their official responsibilities.
