New Delhi, April 19 The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday said that they have attached an immovable property situated at New Delhi worth Rs 4.50 crore belonging to Sharan Svadha LLP in a case related to arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari and others.

The ED initiated the investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, against Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, Bhandari, Offset India Solutions Pvt Ltd (OISPL) and others based on the FIR registered by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for commission of offence punishable under various sections of Indian Penal Code, and Prevention of Corruption Act.

During the course of investigation conducted by the ED, it was learnt that Pilatus Aircraft Ltd entered into criminal conspiracy with Bhandari, his partner Bimal Sareen and others for obtaining the contract of supply of 75 basic trainer aircrafts to the Indian Air Force.
