BHOPAL: The Enforcement Directorate's (ED) Indore Sub-Zonal Office has filed a charge sheet against Kamal Rathore and five other accused persons before the Special Judge under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in Madhya Pradesh's Indore.

The case centres on a major fraud involving the misappropriation of government funds amounting to Rs 20.47 crore from the Block Education Office in Katthiwada of Alirajpur district, ED said in a statement on Thursday.
