The Enforcement Directorate (ED) team today started interrogating Hazaribagh -based coal trader Izhar Ansari in a case of money laundering involving suspended senior IAS officer Pooja Singhal. The development took place after Ansari turned up before the central probe agency office in Hinoo.
The ED interrogating Izhar Ansari assumes importance as on March 3, the ED recovered Rs 3 crore 58 lakh cash and many property documents after it raided Ansari’s residence in Millat Colony at Pelawal in Hazaribagh.
Sources said that Ansari’s name is related to the Coal Linkage episode. Suspended IAS officer Pooja Singhal is involved in this. The ED had raided 14 locations across the state in the matter.
