CBI has completed its investigations into the disproportionate assets case against former Uttar Pradesh chief secretary Akhand Pratap Singh — touted as biggest ever in the country — and is going to file chargesheet in the case within a week.
The Central investigating agency sources said they have collected all the evidences in the alleged Rs 1,000 crore scam. Singh had around 85 immovable properties and 100 bank accounts in his and his family members’ name in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Behraich and Nainital.
“We have got all the documents related to properties, submitted in various authorities, bank papers, and forged papers from the possession of the accused persons. Now, it’s the right time to file chargesheet against all the accused,” a source said.
The sources said they have details of all his properties - most of which are immovable assets acquired in the names of his family members, relatives, friends as well as some private limited companies. “The details of large number deposits in 100 bank accounts and investments in shares, debentures and luxury vehicles have also been recovered,” said the source.
Akhand Pratap Singh, who was chief secretary in the previous Mulayam Singh Yadav regime in UP, has cases of cheating, forgery and amassing disproportionate assets using his power filed against him since March, 2005. Singh was arrested on September 25, 2007 from his farmhouse in Vasant Kunj, allegedly part of his illegal assets, after the agency found that he was not cooperating in the investigations and was trying to influence witnesses and tamper evidences. Singh is presently out on bail.
