NEW DELHI, Nov 1:
The Supreme Court today restrained the Centre from taking any immediate action against Enforcement Directorate official Rajeshwar Singh, probing the multi-crore rupees Aircel-Maxis case and the 2G spectrum scam, following some complaints lodged against him.
The court’s direction came after Singh alleged conspiracy over filing of “frivolous anonymous complaints” against him with the Revenue Secretary saying these were being entertained by the ED.
He said such complaints were filed after the recent attachment of property worth Rs 1.16 crore of the accused in the Aircel-Maxis case.
Though the name of the accused in Aircel-Maxis deal case was not taken by Singh’s counsel, but on September 23, ED had reportedly attached assets worth Rs 1.16 crore of Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, and a firm allegedly linked to him in connection with its money laundering probe in connection with the deal.(PTI)
