Cash amounting to Rs 40 lakh, incriminating documents, demonetised currency notes (old Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes) worth Rs 1 lakh and 700 grams of gold were seized from Singh’s house, the spokesperson said. Singh is currently being questioned by the NIA sleuths, he added. The central probe agency had filed an FIR in the case last year after taking cognisance of a criminal complaint lodged by the Delhi Police alleging that the accused or suspects were actively associated with the KCP.
