ED summons MLA, evidence still on leave
Several reports say Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi has been called in the Sahiti Infratech money-laundering investigation. The summons and the alleged ₹2.1 crore trail remain publicly unseen.
The reported summons and alleged money trail remain publicly unavailable for independent verification.
Several reports say the Enforcement Directorate has summoned Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi to appear on September 27 in the Sahiti Infratech money-laundering investigation over alleged transactions of about ₹2.1 crore. The summons itself and any ED statement naming Gandhi were not publicly available for independent verification.
The ED’s published records establish the underlying case, not Gandhi’s alleged role. The agency says Sahiti Infratec collected money through “Pre-Launch Offer” projects, failed to deliver flats or refunds, and allegedly defrauded more than 700 homebuyers of nearly ₹360 crore. A later ED release puts the alleged proceeds of crime at ₹842.15 crore and says properties worth ₹161.50 crore were provisionally attached.
Those releases name arrested managing director Boodati Lakshminarayan and other Sahiti-linked persons. They do not mention Gandhi. No public response from the MLA was found in the material reviewed. For now, the summons is a reported development; the ₹2.1 crore trail is still a reported allegation, not an established finding. The paperwork, unlike the headlines, has not turned up.
