Another scam by UPA regime unearthed!
[h=1]Ambulance scam: ED files case against Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot, Karthi[/h] Sept. 12, 2015 By: Express News Service | New Delhi | Published:September 12, 2015 1:18 am
In fresh trouble for former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, PCC chief Sachin Pilot and former Union minister P Chidambaram’s son Karthi, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a criminal complaint in connection with the alleged Rajasthan ambulance scam case naming the three along with Ravi Krishna (son of former Union minister Vayalar Ravi) as accused.
The case, registered under under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) , was lodged on the basis of an FIR already registered by CBI in the case.
The case dates back to July last year after the BJP government came in power in the state. Jaipur police had registered a criminal case on the complaint of Mayor Pankaj Joshi. The CBI has alleged irregularities in the award of tender of ambulance services in favour of a firm Ziqitza Health Care by deliberately inserting technical specifications and irregularities in implementation of the project which included excess bills claimed by the firm and the payment allegedly directed to the accused.
The ED, taking cognisance of these facts, suspects that the kickbacks paid in this scam were laundered by some people and used to acquire tainted assets. “The ED probe will identify the beneficiaries of tainted assets,” they said, adding summons were being issued to the accused.
The FIR registered by the state government had named Gehlot and “alleged directors” of the company Ziqitza Health Care, Pilot, Karthi, Krishna along with its director Sweta Mangal, the then health minister of the state Duru Miyan and the Director, National Rural Health Mission.
Pilot, the state PCC president, has earlier called the CBI action a “meek, vendetta-driven malicious prosecution” while Gehlot too termed it a politically motivated action.
Pilot had said he had resigned from the company in late 2002 or early 2003 (before he became MP) when it decided to become a “for profit” company from the “non-profit” venture as he was associated with it only for social cause.
Karthi had said he was never been involved in the administration of the company.
