EC orders probe against 3 IPS officers named in 'poll cash' case against Kamal Nath aides
India TodayThe Election Commission of India has asked the Chief Electoral Officer Madhya Pradesh to lodge a criminal complaint at the Economic Offences Wing against certain IPS personnel of the Madhya Pradesh cadre who have been found to be involved in unaccounted cash transactions during the last Lok Sabha elections in 2019. The officers' alleged role in the use of black money during the 2019 general elections came to the fore after the I-T department raided close aides of former chief minister Kamal Nath. The CBDT report also mentions a state police service officer and has asked the Madhya Pradesh Chief Secretary to proceed against him too. The tax department had conducted raids at 52 locations in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi in April last year and those searched included Kamal Nath's former Officer on Special Duty Pravin Kakkar, adviser Rajendra Miglani, Ashwani Sharma, executives linked to his brother-in-law's firm Moser Baer, a company of his nephew Ratul Puri and others.
