BJP MLA Kin Arrested in ₹97 Crore Money Laundering Case
Imagine someone promised a hotel owner big money if they invested in a grain business.
The hotel owner gave a lot of money, but only got some grain back.
Then, the person disappeared.
The police got involved and found out it was a scam, and the person was arrested.
Now, the government is also looking into it, because they think the person was hiding the money and breaking the law.
The person's sister, who is married to a politician, might also be investigated.
Sudhanshu Dwivedi, brother-in-law of a BJP MLA, was arrested by the ED.
Dwivedi is accused in a Rs 97-crore money laundering case.
The case originated from a police FIR on fraud and threats.
Dwivedi allegedly deceived a hotelier with promises of profitable investment returns.
The MLA's wife may also face investigation.
