One day before, the Central Bureau of Investigation registered a disproportionate assets case against Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar’s secretary A P Pathak.<\/p>\n
Pathak joined the speaker’s office three months ago in June after due clearance from his parent ministry of road transport and highways.<\/p>\n
Pathak had joined the road transport and highways ministry as an engineer after clearing the Indian Engineering Services exam.<\/p>\n
The CBI officers conducted searches against him in Delhi, Kanpur, Patna and Gurgaon. Three properties each were raided in Delhi and Patna.<\/p>\n
The Delhi properties were at prime locations of Anand Niketan and Satya Niketan.<\/p>\n
“Another property was unearthed in Kanpur, one in Gurgaon and seven agricultural properties in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar,” the official said.<\/p>\n
The CBI also found fixed deposits worth Rs.35 lakh, 10 life insurance policies, 33 bank accounts, five credit cards and other incriminating documents.<\/p>\n
The complaint against Pathak was referred to the CBI by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in February this year, the official said.<\/p>\n
The CVC got complaint against Pathak when he was director, Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (COFEPOSA), in the ministry of finance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
