Argumentative

She was accused by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of being involved in illegal mining and export of iron ore from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, along with her husband and his associates in 2011.

She was named as an accused in the chargesheet filed by the CBI and was summoned for questioning and interrogation. She denies any wrongdoing and asserts that she is being targeted for political reasons.

She was also accused by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of being involved in the money laundering and disproportionate assets case against her husband in 2012.

She is accused of receiving and transferring huge amounts of money from various sources, violating the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

She also allegedly purchased and owned a number of assets that were disproportionate to her known sources of income.

She was issued notice and summons by the ED and asked to appear before the agency. She challenged the notices and summons in court and sought redressal of the proceedings.

She was also accused by the CBI and ED of being involved in a quid pro quo investment case against her husband in 2013.
