Earlier this year, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered two more cases of money laundering in its ongoing probe into the illegal sand mining cases. The cases were registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against several officials, a senior probe agency official had said.
That had followed a case based on an FIR by the CBI in the role of bureaucrats and politicians in Hamirpur district. In the Hamirpur case, the probe agency had named then District Magistrate B Chandrakala and ten others.
The CBI had registered separate cases into the alleged irregularities in granting of licences between 2012 and 2016, in violation of the Allahabad High Court order which had ratified an e-tender policy in Kaushambi and Shamli in 2018.
