ED Files PMLA Chargesheet Against Satyendar Jain, 13 Others in DJB STP Tender Case

The case stems from an ACB FIR alleging DJB tenders were tailored to a single supplier, with Rs 17.70 crore traced as illicit proceeds.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate submitted a prosecution complaint naming Satyendar Jain, ex-DJB CEO Udit Prakash Rai, former member Ajay Gupta, ex-chief engineer Satish Chandra Vashishth, Euroteck Environmental Pvt Ltd and its MD Rajakumar Kurra.
  • Investigators allege tender conditions were restricted to IFAS technology with fixed media, which made EEPL the sole eligible technology supplier for the contracts.
  • The agency alleges Rs 6.73 crore in illegal commissions moved via bogus invoices and hawala channels, and says undue profits of Rs 9.96 crore accrued to EEPL.
  • ED estimates total proceeds of crime at about Rs 17.70 crore and says assets worth Rs 15.36 crore were provisionally attached on December 4.
  • AAP denounced the action as vindictive politics as the Delhi BJP hailed it, and the DJB removed Ajay Gupta as senior advisor after his name appeared in the chargesheet.
