Govt relieves Katoch of ED charge

The order comes days after BJP leader Subramanian Swamy wrote two letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing Katoch of not showing interest in pursuing a money laundering probe in the National Herald case.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet on Wednesday approved assigning additional charge of the post of Enforcement Director to Karnal Singh “for a period of three months from the date of assuming charge or till the appointment of a regular incumbent or until further orders, whichever is the earliest”.
