SAS Nagar (Mohali), October 12 (): High officials of the Punjab State Small Scale Industries Corporation, set up to provide employment to Punjab, misused their positions to illegally open factories and factory floors to push Punjab into unemployment. The matter of selling has come to the fore. Punjab Against Corruption President Satnam Singh Daun has exposed one such big scam in the corporation. He said that political people have been doing big scams with their influence, but due to their illiteracy, the higher bureaucracy is doing big scams by getting them to work illegally due to their greed.
Addressing a press conference at Mohali Press Club here today, Satnam Singh Daun said that the officials of the Punjab State Small Scale Industries Corporation, by allotting plots of hundreds of factories in Punjab to their favourites, themselves became partners of property dealers and earned crores of rupees.
He said that in order to erase the evidence of the scam, not only have the high officials here sold the plots at high prices, termites have also created trouble in the eyes of the common people by telling about eating up the records of the plots and making reports. He said that vigilance investigation was done twice in this whole matter, which was stopped by the officials by forming an inquiry committee on the pretext of fake letter of the Chief Minister.
Presenting the records of some of these plots to the media, he said that false reports of termite infestation and loss of records were given in June 2020 to avoid investigation by selling plots in a fraudulent manner. He said that Sandeep Singh, owner of Smart Wonder and Small Wonder School, Mohali, in connivance with the officials, made a fake allotment of Plot No. D-248, Phase 8, Mohali on January 6 in the name of Blue Wing Education Society. 2020 Sold in the name of House No. 885, Phase 3B1 of Savinder Kaur and destroyed the records to destroy evidence after 4 months of sale. Along with this, ignoring the Vigilance investigation, on March 28, 2022, Sandeep Singh sold another plot number D-247, Phase 8 in the name of his second firm Life Line Enterprises for 8 crores.
The representatives of the organization, along with some other evidence, alleged that the corporation officials, in collusion, avoided the investigation by stalling the vigilance investigation, but on the basis of the same investigation, by registering a case against the dealers or those selling illegal profits to buy plots, they were negotiated. Kept canceling the papers. Three such papers were filed with the Mohali police and later quashed, out of which an FIR was lodged against businessman Shivam Grover, owner of Amartex Industries. No. 85, Police Station Phase 1, FIR No. 87, Police Station Phase 1 and FIR No. 57, Police Station Phase 11 against property dealer Jasdeep Mohali, brother of owner of Smart Wonder and Smart Wonder School Mohali, his wife Manpreet Kaur, also in FIR No. 57, Police Station Phase 11 Case has been registered. It was canceled in the name of investigation and due to bargaining those papers were not followed properly, whose full truth can be revealed only after investigation.
He further said that the officials of the corporation issued false and bogus notices to many plot owners and earned notes from the plot owners either by making illegal charges or by buying plots from them at cheap rates and selling them at one. Black money has been generated through dealers at an expensive rate. One such blackmailing letter No. 40070 dated 25th March 2022 was written to the owners of Plot No. C-174 asking the victim officials as well as property dealer Rakesh Mishra, partner of the officials who had complained against them, to respond to them. So that the matter can be resolved, but till date the copy of the complaint made by the dealer Mishra has not been revealed, but the matter has been resolved regarding the matter.
He said that the prices of crores have been increased in the name of wanted dealers and their companies, firms, relatives, current members of Mohali Udyog Sangh etc. When they get real customers and billions of rupees are cheated from the government treasury, in which the Income Tacus and Vigilance investigation in Mohali’s Palat no. E-261, C210, C 211, E 260, E3030, C177, D206, E 250, E 234, C168, C166 A Phase-8 and 659, 656 Phase-9 include hundreds of other plots from Punjab besides Mohali. At the same time, the facts of KYC had long been sought in the income tax records to hide the identity of fake allotment, the corporation did not consider it necessary to respond to the notices.
In the end, representatives of the Punjab Anti-Corruption Organization said that the scam convicted IAS officers, the general manager of the corporations, the chairman and the industry minister, etc. are misleading the Chief Minister’s office from time to time to save the real culprits etc. He said that the above IAS officers and fraudsters still have access to the Chief Minister’s Office, who are insisting on stagnating the investigation.
He demanded Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann that this gang and guilty officers should be identified and legal action should be taken against them and immediate action should be taken against this major scam of crores of arms. If the Punjab government does not take action soon, the legal team of the organization will be forced to take the case to central agencies and courts.
