Charges have been framed against accused Tahir Hussain for offenses under Section 3 of the Money Laundering Act punishable under Section 4 of the PMLA. On being asked by Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat, the accused argued that he was innocent and faced the trial. Directing the prosecution to produce witnesses, the court fixed the hearing for February 10.
The court had earlier said that prima facie there is sufficient material on record to frame the charge, which raises serious doubts against Hussain. The court had said that it was clear that Tahir and others used the money received from various sources during the riots to carry out the riots.
