Ex-Inspector Inderjit Singh of the Punjab Police has immovable property located at House No. 4, Max Colony City, New Abadi, Ghanupur Kale, Cheartha, Amritsar that has been attached by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) as part of a money laundering investigation. This property has a market value of roughly Rs.
FIR and subsequent Challan filed by Special Task Force, Punjab Police against Inderjit Singh and others under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Prevention of Corruption Act, Arms Act, and NDPS Act served as the foundation for the ED’s probe.
In the NDPS case, former inspector detained a narcotics trafficker. Inderjit Singh then began to exert pressure on the smuggler’s family through his accomplice and obtained possession of the residential property in the name of a close friend of his accomplice in exchange for the friend’s assistance in obtaining bail for the smuggler.
The investigation also found that Inderjit had illegally accepted Rs. 39 lacks in payment from the smuggler’s family members through his partner in exchange for not filing another NDPS Act complaint against the smuggler and his family. Inderjit Singh personally acquired the moveable property mentioned above as a result of the scheduled crime. Additionally, Inderjit Singh produced “Proceeds of Crime” totalling Rs. 39 lakh in cash as unethical recompense.
Therefore, the ED has temporarily attached both immovable properties located in Amritsar as direct “Proceeds of Crime” and moveable property in the shape of a Fixed Deposit of Rs. 32.42 lakhs as a comparable value in lieu of “Proceeds of Crime” earned in cash. The probe is being expanded upon.
