An ECIR (Enforcement Case Information Report) has been registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against 14 people. These are the same people who have been named as accused by CBI in the FIR, Counsel for Enforcement Directorate, probing the matter, had told the court earlier. It is alleged that the accused got clearances to construct Adarsh illegally and obtained flats at a very low price. The accused projected tainted property as untainted.
