Official sources said on Monday that the Enforcement Bureau has arrested former Haryana Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhoker “absconded”. It is understood that the former judge, 61, was detained from a hotel in Delhi on Sunday. He will be delivered in court in Gururam on Monday. Chhoker is the former MLA of the Samalkha Conference seats in Panipat District. Last year, after his party once again gave him a competitive ticket from the same seat, he lost the Haryana parliament poll.
Chhoker, his sons Vikas Chhoker (absconded) and Sikandar Chhoker face charges of “cheating” over 1,500 home buyers and received Rs 5,000 crore from them.
Sikandar was arrested by ED last year and he is currently on bail.

A Special Preventive Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court has issued several non-bailable warrants against Dharam Singh Chhoker and Vikas Chhoker. Ed said in March that the agency had issued an announcement to them and directed them to appear in court on May 19.
The money laundering case stems from the Gurugram police station against Sai Aaina Farms and the United Corporation.
