Jalandhar-based Enforcement Directorate assistant director Niranjan Singh, who interrogated Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia last month in connection with the Rs. 6,000 crore drug money laundering case, was transferred to Kolkata on Friday.
The order has ostensibly been issued by the agency headquarters to strengthen its Kolkata office that is presently probing the chit fund scams, including the Saradha and the Rose Valley cases. The decision has come as a surprise to many, given that the assistant director was probing the important drug money laundering case.
