ED Attaches ₹1.64 Crore Assets of Former MP Official, Wife
The Enforcement Directorate has temporarily attached property linked to a former government official and his wife.
The official is Mahendra Pratap Singh, and his wife is Reeta Singh.
Investigators say he had more assets than his known income could explain.
The alleged extra wealth was valued at ₹1.64 crore.
The investigation began after a case was filed by the Economic Offences Wing in Bhopal.
Investigators said the money was used to buy land, vehicles, insurance policies, and build a school.
The attached property includes land and a school building in Rewa.
The action is provisional, so the legal proceedings are not necessarily finished.
The Enforcement Directorate provisionally attached assets worth ₹1.64 crore belonging to former Madhya Pradesh official Mahendra Pratap Singh and his wife, Reeta Singh.
The action was taken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The case originated from an Economic Offences Wing FIR alleging Singh possessed disproportionate assets.
The ED said Singh acquired assets worth ₹1.64 crore, or 191.11% of his known income, between February 13, 1995, and September 9, 2020.
The attached assets include a land parcel and school building in Rewa, along with other movable and immovable properties.
