The CBI has on Sunday rejected a CBI report on the disappearance of 100 kg gold in Tamil Nadu and a list has been prepared by a search at Surana Corporation Limited, NSC Bose Road, Chennai. 400.47kg of gold was seized on this list and it is mentioned that it was placed in the chest of Surana. It was sealed in the presence of independent witnesses and the MD of Surana Corporation and its officials.
In a clarification released on Sunday, the investigating agency said it would hand over the checks to the valid High Court, Official Liquidator, six banks and independent witnesses, and to 27/02/2020 to 29/02/2020. It was done. The seals found in the vaults of Surana Corporation’s lender bank have been found intact. However, the weight of gold is only 296.66 kg. In connection with the difference between the volume and weight described in the search memorandum, the CBI immediately ordered an internal investigation by a senior official to investigate the role of its officers.
It has been made clear that the recovered gold is not kept in the CBI docks. Instead it was just under the seal in the premises of the sura. An application was filed in the High Court in this regard and the High Court has ordered the same on 11.12.2020. An internal investigation of the CBI is ongoing and if any adverse role of any CBI officer is found, strict action will be taken against them.
NEW DELHI: The Madras High Court on Sunday ordered the Tamil Nadu Crime Branch-CID police to probe the disappearance of 103 kg of gold. It was seized during a raid on the office of the importer.
Gold is part of 400.47kg of precious metals and jewelery that was seized by the CBI in 2012 and searched at the Surana Corporation Limited office here. The CBI has begun an internal investigation after the disappearance of 103 kg of gold worth Rs 43 crore that was seized eight years ago. Officials said this was the case. The Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu Crime Branch-CID police to investigate the gold case.
