ED Investigates Irrigation Officials in Kaleshwaram Project
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is keeping a close watch on irrigation officials involved in the Kaleshwaram project.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is already looking into these officials for possibly having illegal assets.
The ED thinks that these officials might have taken money from the government and put it into their own accounts, or accounts of family and friends.
Each of the three officials being investigated may have assets worth more than 100 crore.
The ED is gathering information to investigate further, including looking into where the officials get their money.
They will also check the officers' bank accounts.
This all started because the ACB is looking into these officials for the possibility of illegally obtained assets.
ED is monitoring irrigation officials linked to the Kaleshwaram project.
ACB is investigating three senior irrigation officers for alleged illegal assets.
ED suspects government funds were diverted to personal accounts and benami entities.
Each officer allegedly amassed assets worth over `100 crore.
ED will verify bank accounts and investigate potential FEMA violations.
