More trouble is in store for some senior officials of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) as after waiting for over four months, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has finally decided to take over probe into the Rs 4,122-crore scam in which provident fund money of the power employees was invested in the tainted Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL).
The UP government had sent a letter to the CBI on November 2, 2019, asking the central agency to take over the investigation of the power employees’ PF scam from the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of UP Police.
Official sources here on Friday confirmed that the EOW case (number 540/2019) registered against the accused under sections 409, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code at Hazratganj police station had been transferred to the CBI police station on Thursday.
