ED challenges HC order in NewsClick PMLA case

The Enforcement Directorate has decided to challenge in the Supreme Court a Delhi High Court’s order that quashed a money laundering case against news portal NewsClick and its editor-in-chief, Prabir Purkayastha, on charges of violation of FDI rules, officials said on Thursday.

The high court’s May 29 order “overlooked or left unaddressed” several critical contentions raised by the prosecution, they said.
