Cash and jewelery recovered from DK Mittal’s house in Noida have been carried away in two trunks.
The troubles of retired CGM DK Mittal from National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) have increased after the CBI and IT raids. The investigating agencies have found five of his bank accounts and some bank lockers. Property documents have been found in many cities. There are also discussions that with the money of corruption, property has also been bought in America, where one of his sons lives. The CBI is conducting its own investigation on corruption charges and on the point of recovery of cash-jewellery of 2.5 crores.
What is the whole matter?
CBI Inspector Shakti Singh has lodged an FIR against eight people on 6 July 2022 under IPC sections 120B, 420, PC Act 13(2) and 13(1)(D). This mainly includes five former officers of Delhi Jal Board, two former officers of NBCC and an infrastructure company. NBCC is alleged to have given a certificate of technical fitness to a company (NKG Infrastructure Limited) which was not entitled to it. The company took a contract worth Rs 38 crore from Delhi Jal Nigam Board in the year 2017 on the basis of this certificate. The officers of the Jal Board also participated in this.
This cash was recovered from the house of former NBCC officer.
Jal Nigam board gave clean chit, trapped in CBI investigation
Other companies who had put quotations to get a tender of Rs 38 crore objected to this and lodged a complaint with the Delhi Jal Nigam Board in March-2018. The Board officials are said to have shown in the documents that they conducted a detailed investigation on the complaint and gave a clean chit to the NKG Infrastructure Limited Company in the investigation.
After this the complaint came to the CBI on 8 February 2021. For more than a year, the CBI conducted a confidential investigation into the complaint and believed the allegations to be true. The CBI has also considered the officers of the Delhi Jal Nigam Board, who conducted the alleged investigation of the NKG company, as accused. On 6 July 2022, the CBI registered an FIR in this case.
One thousand old notes were also found in the raid
CBI and Income Tax raided the residence of former NBCC CGM DK Mittal in Noida Sector-19 on Friday night in this case. This action lasted till Saturday night. The raids have also taken place on the premises of former officers of the Delhi Jal Nigam Board. Cash worth Rs 1.5 crore, jewelery worth Rs 1.02 crore, fixed deposit (FD) worth Rs 65 lakh and several property documents have been found from DK Mittal’s house.
Those old notes of one thousand rupees have also been found, which have gone out of circulation in the year-2018. Income Tax is investigating this separately. At present, the entire emphasis of the investigating agencies is on the investigation of five bank accounts and lockers. Let us inform that DK Mittal has retired from NBCC only recently.
