CBI Investigation Expands: ED to Investigate Illegal Property of 50 IAS-IPS Officers
The CBI is keeping an eye on around fifty officials.
The Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) probe into DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar’s corruption case is currently growing quickly. Documents related to illicit investments made by more than fifty Punjabi IAS and IPS personnel have been discovered by the CBI.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is then getting ready to join the probe. A comprehensive record of these officers’ dealings and benami properties has been given to the ED by the CBI. In accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the ED will now look into the money trail.
Claims: Investment via Krishan Sharda
These officials are accused of using Krishan Sharda, the middleman who was detained with Bhullar, to invest their “black money”, or unaccounted wealth, in real estate. During Bhullar and Sharda’s interrogation, the CBI discovered this vital information.
Crores of Benami Properties
The CBI claims that both Krishan Sharda and Bhullar had amassed assets valued at crores of rupees in the names of their acquaintances and relatives, all of which are regarded as benami (proxy-owned) property.
