Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Former constable of the Transport Department Saurabh Sharma is repeatedly telling the Lokayukta Special Police Establishment (SPE) that he has nothing to do with the transactions made through a company.
But it came to light that the company concerned, Aviral Constructions, belongs to his son. SPE is seeking information about the companies where Sharma used to invest the money made through offstage deals.
The agencies are also inquiring about his companies set up under bogus names. The agency has prepared a list containing the names of the directors of his fake companies and is questioning him.
The agency is also gathering information about all the financial transactions made by Sharma and his companies.
Information about the money transactions from Sharma’s accounts to the accounts of his companies is also being collected. Those who had entered into deals with Sharma will be quizzed.
According to sources, SPE is also collecting information about those who were involved in land deals through Sharma’s company, Aviral Constructions.
Apart from that, the agency will collect information about those who had purchased land through Sharma’s companies and question them. There are proofs against Sharma that he operated a Hawala racket with the money he extorted from the check posts. Because Sharma made a huge amount of money, he used it through Hawala transactions.
ED keeping eye on developments
ED is keeping an eye on every development after Sharma’s return and his arrest. ED is getting ready to file an application in the court to seek Sharma’s remand in its custody after SPE ends questioning. ED, too, raided 15 places in connection with Sharma.
ED which also raided all those places where SPE did not go will question Sharma over his money transactions.
There are reports that Sharma was investing money in foreign countries. Investment of black money in foreign countries comes under ED’s purview, so the agency is inquiring about this aspect, too.
