New Delhi, January 28
Sixty-eight cases of money laundering amounting to Rs 1.3 crore in Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) post-demonetisation in November 2016 have been referred to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the directions of Delhi Industries minister Satyendar Jain.
The government said the involvement of higher officers of DSIIDC cannot be ruled out. The departmental proceedings have been initiated against the delinquent officials for imposition of appropriate penalties.
The preliminary departmental inquiry shows that 68 shop incharges of DSIIDC liquor vends were involved in accepting demonetised notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 amounting to Rs 13,095,000 after November 8, 2016, the date on which they were declared as illegal tenders.
