New Delhi, May 27 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said, here on Wednesday, it had attached a two-BHK flat of Amandeep Singh Bhullar in connection with probe into the Jodhpur illegal liquor case in which 22 people had died.

An ED official said the agency had attached a Rs 10 lakh flat of Bhullar at Indore (Madhya Pradesh) under the sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

He said two FIRs were originally registered by the Rajasthan police in Jodhpur in January 2011. The charge-sheets were filed against Kaluram Vishnoi, Sharda Devi, Bhullar and others for illegal sale of poisonous/spurious liquor, causing death of 22 people.

The ED took over the probe from the state police under the PMLA.

The official said during investigation it was revealed that Bhullar supplied illegal spirit in the Jodhpur and Pali areas of Rajasthan to other accused. Vishnoi used this spirit for making illegal liquor.

During the probe it was also revealed that Vishnoi made payment to Bhullar through hawala, the official said.

The ED official said Rs 1.23 crore properties, including cash, acquired by Vishnoi, the kingpin of the hooch tragedy, by selling liquor had been attached so far.

“On identification of the Indore flat of Bhullar acquired by way of illegal means has now been attached under the PMLA,” he said.
