 The Enforcement Directorate has registered a money laundering case in connection with the 1,500 crore rupees Gomti riverfront development project in Lucknow.
The ED's action comes after CBI filed an FIR against three former Chief Engineers Gulesh Chandra, SN Sharma and Qazim Ali and others in the case in December last year.
The agency took over the investigation into the case after the Yogi Adityanath government ordered an inquiry into the beautification project of the Gomti riverfront.
Earlier, the state government had constituted a committee, under retired Allahabad High Court judge Alok Kumar Singh, which had indicated prima facie irregularities in the project in its report dated May 16, 2017.
The project was carried out by the previous Samajwadi Party dispensation.
