Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The direction of inquiry into Saurabh Sharma case has changed after ED’s entry. The ED sleuths are getting ready to probe Sharma’s investments abroad and trace the source of the huge amount of money he made through underhand deals. ED will also probe how money was extorted, with whom it was shared; and how the department was ripped off.
ED joined the probe after 52 kg gold was found in a vehicle. It is suspected that the black money was converted into gold and distributed among some people.
According to sources, ED sleuths may act against some people on the basis of the documents found Sharma’s house during raids. The agency is also trying to lay its hands on those with whom Sharma had links. Sources further said that the call details of Sharma and his family members were found. The call details may open a can of worms. The ED will also probe how many government officials were involved in the transport department scam.
Nine days have passed since the Lokayukta Special Police Establishment (SPE) raided Sharma’s residential premises, but they have failed to bring to light the role of any officer in the scam. But it is true that without the involvement of any officer such a big scam cannot take place.
Proof of investments in Dubai
During the initial inquiry, it came to light that Saurabh Sharma invested money in Dubai. Sources said that Saurabh was investing his black money in Dubai. The inquiries also revealed Sharma’s links with some people in Mumbai. It was through these men that Sharma was planning to invest black money abroad.
