Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged Sahiti Infratech money laundering case. The central agency has directed Gandhi to appear for questioning on September 27 as part of its investigation into financial transactions linked to the real estate company.

According to the ED, investigators are examining an alleged transfer of ₹2.1 crore from Sahiti Infratech to Gandhi. The agency is trying to determine whether the transaction was part of a genuine business deal or has any connection to the suspected money laundering activities. Gandhi is among the former BRS MLAs who later joined the Congress after the Assembly elections.

The ED is probing an alleged ₹842 crore fraud involving Sahiti Infratech, accused of collecting money from homebuyers without completing promised housing projects. The investigation has led to the freezing of 56 bank accounts and the attachment of assets worth ₹173.6 crore. The agency has already arrested the company’s Managing Director B. Lakshminarayana and former director Sandu Purnachandra Rao, while actor Jagapathi Babu was also questioned earlier for appearing in the firm’s promotional campaigns.
