In the 22 billion PF scam in Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), the CBI has sent notices to two more accused. After getting bail to former MD AP Mishra five days ago, the CBI has again shown speed in this case. In this scam, EOW and CBI had sent 17 people to jail. Prior to the CBI, in the year 2019, only EOW was investigating this scam.
The EOW had sent former MD AP Mishra, director finance Sudhanshu Trivedi and PK Gupta to jail. This was followed by several arrests in which agents and CAs of the brokerage firm were also involved. It was during this investigation that the CBI started the investigation in the year 2020. The CBI also arrested many people and questioned the IAS officers. After this the investigation of the case was sluggish. Now the CBI has started scrutinizing the files again. In this episode, notice has been given to an employee of a brokerage firm and an employee of UPPCL.
