SC dismisses Rana Ayyub’s plea challenging U.P. special court summons in money laundering case

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a writ petition filed by journalist Rana Ayyub challenging a summons order issued to her by a Special Court in Uttar Pradesh on a complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Crowdfunding campaign The money laundering case is linked to three campaigns Ms. Ayyub allegedly ran from April 2020 to September 2021 on an online crowdfunding platform named ‘Ketto’. ‘Virtual mode’ The court noted that though the money from the funding campaign was ultimately taken “possession” of in a bank account at Navi Mumbai, the “other activity, namely acquisition, of the proceeds of crime has taken place in the virtual mode with people from different parts of the country/world transferring money online”. Since acquisition has taken place in the virtual world, the places from where online transfers of money took place are known only to the petitioner or perhaps their bankers… Hence, this question should be raised by the petitioner before the Special Court, since an answer to the same would depend upon evidence as to the places where any one or more of the processes or activities were carried out,” the court observed.
