ED files chargesheet against AAP’s Satyendar Jain, 13 others in Rs 17-crore DJB fraud case

The statement added: “The probe conducted by the ED has concluded that Satyendar Kumar Jain, Udit Prakash Rai, Ajay Gupta, Satish Chandra Vashishth and private persons and entities – namely M/s Euroteck Environmental Pvt Ltd, Raja Kumar Kurra, Vinod Chauhan, Nagendra Yadav — and other accused are involved in or have assisted in generation, acquisition, concealment, possession and use of total proceeds of crime to the tune of around Rs 17.70 crore and committed offence of money laundering.”

The ED started their investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the Anti Corruption Branch of the Delhi government against Euroteck Environmental Private Limited and others, alleging a fraud in the name of augmentation and upgradation of existing 10 STPs at Pappan Kalan and Nilothi (package 1), Najafgarh and Keshopur (package 2), Coronation Pillar, Narela and Rohini (package 3), and Kondli (package 4).

“The probe has revealed that one Rajakumar Kurra, Managing Director of M/s EEPL, got the terms and conditions of the DJB tender manipulated through officials of DJB and private persons Nagendra Yadav and others, making the tender restrictive to the usage of ‘IFAS ( (Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge) technology with fixed media’ only and thereby, enabling M/s EEPL to become the sole supplier of technology in tender concerned,” the spokesperson alleged.

Raja Kumar Kurra and his associates allegedly paid an illegal commission of Rs 6.73 crore, “which is nothing but proceeds of crime under PMLA, 2002″, according to the ED. “The alleged illegal commission was paid through banking transactions by issuing bogus invoices to obfuscate the payments and also through cash by hawala channels,” the ED spokesperson said, adding, “These acts resulted in undue profits of Rs. 9.96 crore accruing to M/s EEPL, which is also proceeds of crime under PMLA.”

The ED had provisionally attached movable and immovable properties amounting to Rs. 15.36 crore of the accused on December 4.
