Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy alleged that certain Finance Ministry officials are preventing Enforcement Directorate (ED) from registering money laundering charges under PMLA against the TV channel. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP leader cited the recent articles of PGurus on NDTV’s main promoters Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy cheating the investors and siphoning money into their personal accounts.



“I am writing this letter in view of the obstacles that have been placed by the Finance Ministry officials on Enforcement Directorate to proceed in the matter of money laundering and fraud in NDTV. With this letter I enclosing two news items as Annexure based on the investigation done by PGurus.com on December 14 and December 16, 2016,” said Swamy.

Mincing no words, Swamy accused NDTV for telling lies and airing stories against BJP. He also said that the TV channel was supported by Christian Missionaries. Swamy’s letter is published at the end of this report.

“Therefore, I cannot understand why the Finance Ministry officials should restrain the ED from taking these investigation to the logical conclusion of charge-sheeting them and proceeding in Court to framing of charges and conviction,” said Swamy to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
