Kolkata, October 23
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted raids at a few locations here in connection with its money laundering probe against an IRS officer and others.
The searches were conducted at two premises, showroom and residence, of HM Dewan Jewellers and its promoters in connection with a criminal probe against Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Neeraj Singh, a commissioner in the Income Tax Department, they said.
The agency seized a number of “incriminating documents”, including those related to the alleged illegal sale of gold, and travel and transport bills of five-star hotels, the official said. Documents indicate that a number of transport arrangements were made for the accused by a company promoted by prime accused in the Rose Valley chitfund case, Gautam Kundu. The ED is looking at links of Singh with his alleged associate Govind Agarwal and others.
The searches are an effort to obtain more evidence with regard to routing of illegal monies and further money laundering, the officials said. Some documents related to benami ownership of two large hotels have also been seized during the raids, they added. — PTI
