New Delhi, Oct 4 : Five Congress leaders will appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to join the investigation in connection with a Prevention of Money Laundering case pertaining to the National Herald matter.

According to the information, J. Geeta Reddy, Shabbir Ali, P. Sudarshan can join the probe on Tuesday.

The ED has also summoned Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar and his brother D.K. Suresh to appear on October 7.

All the leaders are likely to be questioned about Young India and Dotex connection.

The firm is reportedly located at 5, Lower Rawdon Street in Sreepally of Ballygunge, Kolkata. It is situated in a residential apartment named Aakash Deep.

“Dotex firm allegedly paid Rs 1 crore to Young India. This was a loan which they gave to YI in 2010. The loan given by Dotex Merchandise was never returned. YI was just incorporated when this loan was paid,” said an ED source.

The ED has doubt that the money was laundered through YI.
