According to the statement issued by the ACB, after enquiring into a complaint received by the ACB, it was revealed that Navlani, a resident of Colaba Causeway and others had used names of ED officials and had accepted Rs 58.96 crores from different private companies in consideration of doing their work.
"The said money was accepted in the form of consultancy fees or unsecured loans through shell companies. Hence an offense is registered against Navlani and others," the statement added.
