The Enforcement Directorate has issued a summons to Ambati Rambabu, a prominent leader of the opposition YSR Congress Party, directing him to appear before investigation officers in connection with a liquor transport scam case. According to the summons, Rambabu is required to present himself along with all relevant documents on September 24 for questioning.
The exact details of the alleged scam have not been disclosed, but the ED's involvement suggests the matter involves potential violations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Rambabu, who held ministerial positions in the previous YSRCP government, is among several political figures who have faced scrutiny from central investigating agencies in recent months.
The summons comes amid heightened political tension in Andhra Pradesh following the change in government. The ED has intensified its investigations into various cases linked to the previous administration, with multiple officials and party members being questioned.
