Chaturvedi's name cropped up during probe into Pushpak Bullion

The name of Chaturvedi, a resident of Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, had cropped up during an investigation by the ED into Mumbai-based Pushpak Bullion after the demonetization drive of 2016 led to laundering of political funds.

A CA, Chaturvedi is being probed by multiple agencies for his alleged role in laundering stocks, derivatives and share premiums run via an intricate web of nearly 150 shell companies, mostly headquartered in Kolkata.

“Profits earned from the transactions are invested in assets in multiple cities across Uttar Pradesh, as well as in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad,” said an official.
