It has transpired from the reply of the Respondent that the Petitioner had purchased a plot in Jalandhar after an amount of ₹ 5 lacs was transferred through RTGS from the Bank Account of the accused Company M/s Medcare Remedies Pvt. Ltd. by the principal accused Gurjit Kumar Gaba. Besides, the petitioner is also stated to be the actual brain behind laundering of proceeds of crime, by way of having received a huge amount of ₹ 2,27,30,000/- in cash from his brother/Principal accused Gurjit Kumar Gaba in the year 2012-13.
