Srinagar, Nov 9: The Enforcement Directorate has filed a prosecution complaint against alleged Gujarat conman Kiran Patel before a special court here under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The court took cognisance of the prosecution complaint and issued a notice to the accused to appear on November 27.
On August 29 last year, a court here granted bail to Ahmedabad-resident Patel, who was arrested for allegedly posing as a top official in the Prime Minister’s Office in March to dupe people and secure undue advantages from the administration as he impersonated himself as Additional Director (Strategy and Campaigns), PMO and fraudulently created/printed fake visiting cards for faking his identity to fulfil his ulterior motives to dupe people and generate proceeds of crime.
The ED initiated investigation on the basis of an FIR registered at the Nishat Police Station in Srinagar against Patel and others under various sections of Indian Penal Code.
Further, by using the said fake visiting cards and impersonation, not only did he illicitly availed the security from the administration of the UT of J&K government which has caused a loss of resources and monetary loss to the state exchequer but it is a question on JKUT govt that none of the officer has been punished for providing him security & other VIP comforts on the part of Govt exchequer, needed to be looked into?
