The ED officials began to probe the money laundering case after the UP police had registered FIRs against the goon. The Allahabad High Court granted anticipatory bail to the gangster’s wife, Richa Dubey, earlier this year in two cases registered against her for allegedly using her servant’s SIM card without his consent. She was booked under sections 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), sources further said.
