<h1>Enforcement Directorate files first charge sheet against businessman in Haryana land deal money laundering case</h1> The Enforcement Directorate filed a charge sheet against a businessman and others in a money laundering case related to a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur. This marks the first prosecution complaint filed against the individual in a criminal case. The investigation centers on a February 2008 land transaction where a company, with the businessman as director, purchased 3.5 acres in Shikohpur for Rs 7.5 crore and later sold it to a realty major for Rs 58 crore in September 2012. The deal became controversial when an IAS officer cancelled the mutation, citing violations of state consolidation laws. The charge sheet was filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act after the individual was questioned for three consecutive days. The businessman has denied wrongdoing, claiming political vendetta. The agency is investigating two other related cases involving the same individual.
