Hyderabad: The Enforcement Directorate summoned Telangana Congress MLA Arekapudi Gandhi for questioning in its Sahiti Infra money-laundering probe. The agency asked the Serilingampally legislator to appear before it on September 27 over transactions of about ₹2.1 crore.
According to reports on the investigation, the ED is examining alleged transfers from Sahiti Infratech Ventures India Private Limited into bank accounts linked to Gandhi. Officials are seeking details about the nature and purpose of those transactions.
The agency is also examining properties connected with the alleged money trail. However, the summons itself concerns questioning and does not establish wrongdoing by Gandhi.
The investigation follows complaints and police cases involving Sahiti Infra and its promoters. Homebuyers alleged that the company collected money for flats and villas through pre-launch offers but failed to deliver the promised projects.
The ED has previously pursued the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. It has also filed a supplementary prosecution complaint against Sahiti Infra executives, with the Hyderabad MSJ Court taking cognisance of it on January 5, 2026.

The ED has estimated the alleged proceeds of crime in the wider Sahiti Infra case at around ₹842 crore. Separately, the agency has attached properties valued at about ₹161 crore and another set valued at ₹12.65 crore.
The agency has also frozen bank accounts during the investigation. Further details concerning Gandhi’s response and the transactions are expected after his scheduled appearance before the ED on September 27.
