NEW DELHI: Days after Bengaluru police withdrew some charges from an FIR against Suryakant Tiwari, one of the key accused in the Chhattisgarh illegal coal levy scam, the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday said it has taken possession of at least 81 of the 91 properties worth Rs 152 crore attached in the case belonging to the accused who include a former deputy secretary rank officer in chief minister Bhupesh Baghel’s office.
In December, the ED had attached 91 properties worth Rs 152 crore “beneficially owned” by an illegal coal mining syndicate that included deputy secretary rank officer Saumya Chaurasia, who worked in the Chhattisgarh CM’s office before she was arrested by the agency.
