Two people who are facing charges of money laundering and fraudulent falsification of accounts will take their plea on the 10th of December this year.

It is also alleged that the two were involved in transferring the money to a company that belonged to Rajat Maharaj.

At the time of the alleged incident, Lal used to work for Goodman Fielder.
