A Delhi Court has recently sentenced 2 former Delhi Jal Board officials to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment in a money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate, saying it was taking a “lenient view” in the matter.
Special Judge Ashwani Kumar Sarpal was hearing the case against Raj Kumar Sharma and Ramesh Chand Chaturvedi, who were sentenced to 5 years and 4 years imprisonment, respectively by a CBI court in December 2012 for misappropriating around ₹47.76 lakh from the DJB and against whom the ED registered a case in December 2009.
However, the anti-money laundering agency, filed the complaint in the present court in March 2021 after a delay of more than 11 years and around 4 years after the accused completed their sentence in the CBI case.
