Misa Bharti
A special court here on Monday granted bail to RJD chief Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti and her husband in a money laundering case. The two had moved bail applications. The agency had opposed the bail plea, arguing the case was a "very serious" economic offence.
A special court in Delhi took cognisance of the chargesheet - called the prosecution complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act - and summoned the couple as accused in the case.
Bharti, an RJD MP, and her husband appeared before the court after they were asked to do so. According to the charge sheet put up by the Central Bureau of Investigation, Misa Bharti and her husband were, "party and actively connected with proceeds of crime including its concealment, possession, acquisition or use and projecting or claiming it as untainted property, and thus are guilty of money laundering".
On December 23 a year ago, the ED filed a third charge-sheet against Bharti's chartered accountant Rajesh Agrawal, her husband and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in the money laundering case.
