Jalandhar Additional Director Ravi Tiwari has been transferred in connection with the case of issuing summons to former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. According to the reports, the action has been taken in connection with an alleged leak of a closure report. The transfer orders were issued as a strict measure against the officer associated with the Central Enforcement Directorate.
Sources reveal that the BJP-led central government has taken the decision and have taken up this matter seriously. As per the reports, this was the officer who had summoned Captain Amarinder Singh. As of now, the ED is reportedly investigating former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh along with his son Ranjit Singh for alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and undisclosed foreign wealth.
As per the information, the main focus of this investigation is transactions conducted in trusts in Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands. Earlier, the court had granted the ED to access the income records that were obtained through international treaties.
The move to transfer Jalandhar Additional Director Ravi Tiwari has come right after the statement made by AICC general secretary and Punjab Affairs in-charge Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday where he mentions that if Capt Amarinder Singh wishes to return to the Congress fold, the high command would consider it. The comment has sparked speculation about the former CM’s possible comeback into Congress triggering a commotion in BJP.
