The Washington-based non-profit, World Centre for Reporters, had invited Ms Ayyub to the United Kingdom for a dialogue on on-line violence towards girls reporters. Ms Ayyub has frequently tweeted she confronted on-line harassment and demise threats from trolls.
The Enforcement Directorate has summoned her for wondering on April 1.
The cash laundering case towards Ms Ayyub is according to a First Data Record or FIR filed by way of Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad Police in September, by way of a Vikas Sankrityayan – the founding father of an NGO referred to as “Hindu IT Cellular” and a resident of Indirapuram in Ghaziabad.
In step with a record attributed to “ED assets”, the company which investigates monetary crimes discovered that the journalist had raised over Rs 2.69 crore via a web based crowdfunding platform referred to as Ketto for charitable functions between 2020 and 2021.
Ms Ayyub has maintained the “complete donation gained via Ketto is accounted for and no longer a unmarried paisa has been misused”.
Then again, the ED alleged its probe makes it abundantly transparent that the finances had been raised within the title of charity in a fully pre-planned and systematic method, and the finances weren’t used totally for the aim of which the finances had been raised.
