Punjab’s former chief secretary and current Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue), Anurag Verma, appeared at the Enforcement Directorate office in Jalandhar, handing over documents on the Mohali land‑use conversion linked to the Rs 348 crore Suntech City scam.
Anurag Verma, who served as Punjab’s chief secretary before being appointed Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue), visited the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Jalandhar on Tuesday. He arrived with a set of documents that detail the conversion of land use in Mohali, a key element under investigation in the Suntech City fraud case.
The Suntech City scandal, involving alleged misappropriation of approximately Rs 348 crore, has been under ED scrutiny for several months. Investigators are focusing on how land parcels were re‑classified, facilitating the alleged financial irregularities.
During the meeting, Verma submitted the paperwork to ED officials, indicating cooperation from the state revenue department. The documents are expected to aid the agency’s probe into the mechanisms of the land‑use changes and their role in the larger financial scheme.
No further statements were released by the ED or the Punjab government at the time of reporting. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities yet to disclose any subsequent actions or findings.
