Chandigarh, Aug 25: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former Punjab Chief Secretary Anurag Verma to appear on August 31 and re-summoned Kanwal Preet Brar to appear on August 27 in its ongoing probe into the alleged scam involving Suntec City and Altus Space Builders Private Limited.
Both IAS officers have been asked to appear at ED’s zonal office in Jalandhar on the respective dates.
Brar, who had earlier appeared before ED on August 18, has been asked to bring additional documents related to the case.
Verma, however, will appear before the agency for the first time. He is currently the Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue, but was heading Housing and Urban Development Department when the alleged irregularities took place.
ED is probing the officials’ roles to determine whether rules were violated in the grant of change of land use and in unauthorised layout modifications allegedly made to benefit private builders.
