Ranchi, Oct 24
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has named eight more accused in its fourth supplementary prosecution complaint (PC) filed before the Special PMLA Court, Ranchi, in connection with the Jharkhand tender scam case, allegedly linked to former state minister Alamgir Alam, an official said on Friday.
The ED had arrested Alamgir Alam on May 15 last year in connection with the alleged commission racket linked to the department’s tender process.
Earlier, on May 6, the agency had carried out extensive raids at the premises of Alam’s Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Sanjeev Lal, his domestic help Jahangir Alam, and several contractors.
The searches led to the seizure of over Rs 35 crore in cash, including Rs 30 crore from Jahangir Alam’s residence, Rs 2.93 crore from contractor Munna Singh, and Rs 2.14 crore from contractor Rajiv Singh.
