SC says ED powers may have a semblance of an investigation only because it involves search and seizure.

I’ll explain why [7/14, 11:03] sekarreporter1: KS: PMLA empowers ED to summons bank officials, financial institutions and brokers who deal with finances. Once all that evidence is collected, it is the same evidence that would be used to file a complaint. I don’t say so, SC says.](https://sekarreporter.com/wp-content/themes/hueman/assets/front/img/thumb-medium-empty.png)
