ED attached all the properties. SPE raids also revealed that Gandhi had acquired properties worth over Rs 25 crore, but in their challan, they mentioned properties worth over Rs 5.33 crore.
Gandhi, his brother Ajay Gandhi, and wife Archana Gandhi were sent to jail in 2016 in connection with the case. Gandhi died of cancer.
