New Delhi, July 9 (TIWN) Popular disc jockey DJ Aqeel, the son-in-law of actor-director Sanjay Khan, on Monday skipped an Enforcement Directorate's summons in the Rs 8,100 crore Sterling Biotech loan fraud case.

 A senior ED official told IANS: "Aqeel has not appeared before the agency today. He is not complying with the agency's order."  Aqeel, who is married to Farah Ali Khan, the eldest daughter of Bollywood actor and director Sanjay Khan, did not appear before the agency last week. 

The ED issued him fresh summons in the money laundering case.  The ED official said the agency had also summoned Bollywood actor Dino Morea later this week. Dino Morea also ignored the agency's summon last week, the official said.  According to ED officials, the actor and the DJ were asked to appear as the ED had evidence that the two were paid money by Sterling Biotech Ltd. (SBL) group in the past for performing in Gujarat.  The two were summoned under the Prevention of the Money Laundering Act. 

The agency registered a money laundering case against the Gujarat-based Sterling Biotech group of the Sandesara brothers (Chetan Jayantilal Sandesara and Nitin Jayantilal Sandesara), and others in August 2017, after a case of alleged bank fraud of Rs. 5,700 crore was filed against them by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
