Sleuths of the Special Investigation Bureau (SIB) of the Co-operative cell has dispatched letters to district magistrates of five district asking them to help them in identifying the immovable properties of four of the absconding accused, including two former ministers, in multi-crore rupees scam in Labour and Construction Cooperative Federation (LACCFED).
The accused includes names of two former ministers of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) government, Rangnath Mishra and Chandra Dev Ram Yadav whom the SIB team failed to arrest so far. ‘We have already dispatched letter to district magistrates and Registrars of Lucknow, Kanpur, Barabanki, Sant Ravidas Nagar (Bhadohi) and Azamgarh requesting them to send a details of immovable and other properties of the four accused who were on the run to evade arrest’, disclosed a senior officer of the SIB while confirming that all out efforts were also made to nab them.
He said that while they have asked DMs to identify the properties of then secondary education minister Rangnath Mishra in his native place at Bhadohi as well as in Barabanki and Lucknow, similar help was sought from Azamgarh from where than small scale industry minister Chandra Dev Ram Yadav hails.
‘Besides we asked DM of Kanpur to send a list of immovable assets of former chairman of LACCFED, Susheel Katiyar who too said to have made huge properties along with then Managing Director of the Corporation, BP Singh, who hails from the state capital’, the officer added.
Surprisingly two ministers as well as both former senior officials of LACCFED who too were having patronage of several of former ministers of Mayawati’s tenure have so far managed to dodge the SIB team as well as sleuths of elite Special Task Force (STF) who were assisting the probing team in tracing out the whereabouts of the accused and subsequently to lay a trap on them.
