In 2010, Sanjay Tiwari, an activist, had filed a PIL alleging that the Singh family had collectively possessed assets disproportionate to their known sources of income, following which the Bombay High Court on February 22, 2012, had directed the police to attach several properties belonging to the family and investigate allegations of criminal misconduct and disproportionate assets.
The PIL had alleged that Singh and his relatives had disproportionate assets worth over Rs 320 crore.
An FIR was subsequently filed against Singh and family members on February 28, 2012, under various sections of Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act.
The agency had earlier alleged that Singh owned a benami plot in Ratnagiri, which he purchased using his employee’s details. The probe further claimed that when Singh was Minister of State for Home, he had extended favours to three companies by giving them interest-free loans, which, in return, had cleared the bills for his son’s engagement ceremony.
Singh’s son Narendra allegedly did not file proper income tax returns between 2006 to 2010.
The allegation against his daughter and son-in-law is that they own a MHADA flat based on false documents.
