Vigilance submits files of 3 former Punjab ministers to ED in Ludhiana and Amritsar

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will now probe a money laundering case against three former Punjab ministers. The Punjab Vigilance has handed over the files pertaining to the three former ministers Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Sadhu Singh Dharamsot and Sangat Singh Gilzian to the ED.

According to sources, now the money transactions and sale and purchase of property of the ministers in the country and abroad will be investigated. The ED has asked the Vigilance Bureau chief to provide files of all cases in which the accused are accused of amassing disproportionate assets. The Vigilance Bureau had earlier provided documents of the multi-crore forest scam to the ED. The ED has now called for files of the Ludhiana and Amritsar Improvement Trust scams that came to light during the Congress government’s tenure.
