Supreme Leader Of North Korea: Ed Will ‘dig Deeper’ Into Money Trail That Ended Up At Doit Office | Jaipur News
On Thursday, the ED produced Yadav in a court for Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) cases, which granted 4-day police remand of the accused.
Yadav was arrested on Wednesday evening after ED registered a case under PMLA in June this year, almost a month after Yadav was arrested by the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) for possession of unaccounted cash and gold. Yadav was first detained by Jaipur police on May 20, when the cash and gold were found in his office, and on May 21 he was arrested by the ACB when Jaipur police handed over the case to them. Soon after, he was suspended.
“We had sought a remand of 7 days from the PMLA court. The court granted us remand for 4 days,” said an officer of ED, requesting anonymity.
In the next four days, the ED will focus on cracking the money trail, as the ACB did not “dig deeper” into the case to find it, the officer said. ED officers are likely to take the accused to the DoIT office at Yojna Bhavan in the coming days, he said.
“Of course, the source of the money found in the almirah of the government office has to be found. We have conducted raids at Yadav’s house in Jaipur and also at his ancestral house in Aazamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. We have obtained incriminating evidence in the form of electronic gadgets and others,” the officer said.
“The connivance of any other officer or group of officers in this case has to be investigated,” the officer added.
The discovery of a huge amount of cash along with a gold bar at the government office had caused such a stir in the government machinery that the chief secretary, the director-general of police, and the Jaipur police commissioner together held a late-night press conference on May 20.
