Pilot said that on February 20 Sonali and Jayesh returned 24 lakh rupees saying that they have not done any work for Mehul. He alleged that Arun Jaitley was already aware of the disappearance of diamond trader Mehul Choksi. It is important that on January 4, 2018, Mehul Choksi had escaped from the country.
This is the second time when the Congress has tried to put Finance Minister Jaitley in the circle of questions. The Congress had alleged that Vijay Mallya had met Arun Jaitley in Parliament before fleeing the country.
The Congress alleged that Finance Minister Jaitley’s daughter Sonali Jaitley and son-in-law Jayesh Bakshi had accepted their relationship in December 2017 from Geetanjali James Limited, a company owned by Mehul Choksi. During this period, Rs 24 lakhs were received by Jaitley and Associates from Sonali Jaitley and Jayesh.
