The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is considering an application to declare the wife and sons of businessman Jatin Mehta as fugitive economic offenders. Mehta, linked to bank frauds totaling Rs 7,000 crore, is already facing similar proceedings. The CBI has filed 16 cases and 12 chargesheets against Mehta and his firms for alleged conspiracy and bank fraud. Mehta's counsel stated the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act may not apply to family members.
