EPF scam: EOW to grill arrested officials
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Uttar Pradesh Police speeded up its probe into the multi-crore rupees provident fund scam in the UP Power Corporation Limited and would now grill the three directors of the Power Employees Trust who were taken on three days’ police custody remand on Thursday.
They include former UPPCL MD Ayodhya Prasad Mishra.
Though the state government has claimed that it has recommended a CBI probe into the investment of power employees provident fund in DHFL, till date there has been no response from the Centre over the issue. No UP official is ready to comment on the matter.
Senior IPS officer Anand Kulkarni, who was recently transferred from Varanasi as its district police chief, has been made the head of the investigating team in this case.
