The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has announced that it has taken over the probe into the Yamuna Expressway scam for alleged irregularities worth Rs 126 crore and named its former CEO P C Gupta and 20 others in its First Information Report (FIR).
A senior CBI official stated that the central probe agency has registered a case on the recommendation of the Uttar Pradesh government to probe the purchase of large areas of land in Mathura for the Yamuna Expressway project.
The CBI has received permission from the central government to probe the case in October.
In its complaint, the Uttar Pradesh state government has alleged that land for Yamuna Expressway was purchased in seven Mathura villages by the then Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority for Rs 85 crore in 2014, which allegedly resulted in a loss of Rs 126 crore to the Uttar Pradesh state government.
The case was earlier registered at Kasna police station in Gautam Buddha Nagar.
