Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has suspended Amrendra Singh, the official who investigated the Hasan Ali money laundering case from 2006 to 2008.
During a departmental inquiry, the ED found that Singh allegedly tried to scuttle the probe and also leaked information to the accused.
The Special Director of the Enforcement Directorate is currently conducting an inquiry on Singh and is also probing allegations of bribery against him.
Ali is believed to have 8 billion dollars in black money in foreign bank accounts. He was arrested in March and moved to Mumbai from Pune, where he is known for his lavish cars, homes, horses and parties.
He has been asked to pay Rs 70,000 crore as a penalty for tax evasion, but his lawyer claims that he is innocent of all the charges against him.
