<h1>Alleged Rs 3,500-crore liquor policy scheme involving kickbacks and layering; former MP Vijayasai Reddy summoned under PMLA</h1> The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former MP Vijayasai Reddy for examination and recording of statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) regarding an alleged Rs 3,500-crore liquor policy scheme; this subjects him to statutory PMLA interrogation and potential attachment or prosecution measures. He is named as an accused in a Special Investigation Team FIR and the ED opened a PMLA case on the SIT complaint, rendering him subject to parallel criminal and money-laundering inquiry and possible prosecution. Police chargesheets allege systematic kickbacks and layering of illicit proceeds through low-profile persons and appointments tied to the policy, resulting in arrests and ongoing criminal prosecutions.
