Amar case: petitioner demands CBI or DE probe
Lucknow | Friday, Dec 11 2009 IST
 

Shivkant Tripathi, who had lodged an FIR against Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh, his wife and Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan in a financial fraud to the tune of Rs 500 crores in October last, today demanded a probe by the (CBI) or Directorate of Enforcement(DE) into the case.

'' As even after two months time the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Uttar Pradesh police was yet to start its investigation, the probe should be handed over to the CBI or DE immediately'', demanded Tripathi in a letter to the state Chief Minister Mayawati here today.

The copy of the letter, also sent to the DE and other officials of the UP government, said due to lack of resources, the EOW was yet to start investigation in the case resulting in delay.

Quoting the direction of the Allahabad High Court, which had granted a stay on the arrest of Mr Singh till January 27, the complainant said that only a probe by the central agency under the Money Laudering Act or any other Central Act could prove his charges made against the SP leader and his close family members.
