Reports from yesterday suggested that the case was registered last week after examining collected details and ED would start summoning those connected with the case in a few days.

In his statement, Advocate Patil offered clarification about this information stating, "The predicate offence registered by Mumbai Police has culminated into a charge sheet and is pending before the Court. The said predicate case does not carry any allegations of proceeds of crime. There are no allegations by the Mumbai police in the entire chargesheet which may attract the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act."
