  • The case stems from an ACB FIR on alleged fraud in upgrading 10 STPs across packages covering Pappankalan, Nilothi, Najafgarh, Keshopur, Coronation Pillar, Narela, Rohini and Kondli.
  • A provisional attachment order dated December 4 secured properties worth Rs 15.36 crore, and the filing initiates proceedings under the PMLA.
