In the midst of Lok Sabha Polls 2024, Union Home Ministry ordered an enquiry into alleged disproportionate assets case against senior officer Sanjay Kumar Singh (IPS: 1996: OD), Deputy DG of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The inquiry was initiated immediately after he took VRS last week. It may be underlined that Singh was investigating into the Cordelia Cruise drug bust case and gave clean chit to Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan son Aryan Khan booked in a narcotics case by NCB Mumbai on 2021 Gandhi Jayanti.
He had submitted a notice for voluntary retirement on the last day of February which was accepted by the Odisha government after relaxing the mandatory three months wait period and will be relieved from the service on last day of April. He was to retire next year on superannuation completing 28 years of police service. The disproportionate assets enquiry includes crores of college fees paid successively in 2921 and 2022 and a benami flat acquired in Navi Mumbai.
