ED attaches Rs 127 worth shares in case against ex TMC MP

New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday said it has attached more than Rs 127 crore worth of shares 'beneficially owned" by the son of former TMC MP and businessman Kanwar Deep Singh in a money laundering case.
The case is linked to an alleged Rs 1,900 crore ponzi scheme fraud, it said.
The money laundering case is based on the FIRs filed by Kolkata Police and CBI against the Alchemist Township, the Alchemist Infra Realty and the Alchemist Group's directors including Kanwar Deep Singh.
The accused were charged with orchestrating a large-scale criminal conspiracy to illegally raise Rs 1,848 crore through collective investment schemes, by offering investors unusually high returns or falsely promising to allot them plots, flats and villas.
'The misappropriated funds were systematically layered through complex financial transactions involving the Alchemist Group entities, with the intent to conceal the illicit origin of the funds," the agency said.
'These tainted proceeds were ultimately used to acquire shares and construct Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital," the ED alleged.
The 40.94 per cent shares of Alchemist Hospital and 37.24 per cent shares of Ojas Hospital, both located in Panchkula, are held by Sorus Agritech, a company 'beneficially owned" by Karan Deep Singh, son of Kanwar Deep Singh.
These shares worth Rs 127.33 crore have been provisionally attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the probe agency said.
Kanwar Deep Singh, who had been a TMC Rajya Sabha MP twice, retired in April 2020.
He was arrested by the ED in January 2021. The agency has filed two chargesheets in the case and attached Rs 238.42 crore worth of properties earlier. PTI NES RUK RUK

Highways dept appeals Madras HC order to demolish two pillars of Avinashi road elevated flyover project

COIMBATORE: The Madras High Court ordered the Special Projects wing of the State Highways department officials (Coimbatore division) to demolish two pillars built for the ramps of the Avinashi Road elevated flyover project. The move comes after a landowner alleged that the construction of the pillars appears to favour a private star hotel on Avinashi Road. Meanwhile, the highways department has filed an appeal against the order. Justice Bharatha Chakravarthy observed that the pillars, originally spaced 30 metres apart, had been repositioned without structural justification. The judge ordered the demolition of the relocated pillars and reconstruction at the originally-sanctioned spots, citing risk to the structural integrity of the flyover. He also imposed a personal fine of Rs 1,000 each on two senior highways engineers, and directed that the relocated pillars be marked with the Tamil Nadu Government's motto "Vaaimaiye Vellum" (Truth Alone Triumphs), and be known as the "Pillars of Truth." The 10.1 km-long, Rs 1,621.3 crore flyover project, connecting Uppilipalayam and Goldwins, is one of Tamil Nadu's largest infrastructure undertakings. Originally, the project included five pedestrian subways at high-traffic points to ensure safe crossings under the flyover, as well as service roads to maintain access to properties alongside the corridor. Kathirmathiyon, secretary of Coimbatore Consumer Cause and a member of the Coimbatore District Road Safety Committee filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the highways department for omitting key pedestrian infrastructure and a service road in the ongoing Avinashi Road elevated flyover project. The PIL, filed before the Madras High Court, flags the silent removal of five approved pedestrian subways and the dropping of a service road near a private hotel, both of which were part of the original sanctioned plans.
