Saurabh sharma case: The story of Saurabh Sharma, a soldier of the transport department of Madhya Pradesh, exposed in December last year, shocked the whole country. After the disclosure of assets like 52 kg of gold, two and a half quintals of silver and crores of rupees cash, the kind of action that the public and society had, have not been fulfilled till date. Despite the presence of four top investigative agencies, this case hangs in the balance even after five months.
Congress and BJP face to face
Congress Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar has accused the government that it is deliberately wandering the case and saving the real culprits. He says, “Even after such a huge seizure, if there is no result, then it is clear that the investigating agencies are working under pressure.”
At the same time, BJP spokesperson Ajay Yadav retaliated on the Congress, saying, “If the Congress has any evidence, they should hand over to the investigating agencies. The opposition is only doing politics.”
Former police officer raised questions
Former IPS officer Vijay Vate also reacted to the case, saying, “When a multi agency is investigated, the accountability is often distributed.” He said, “In such cases many times political pressure also affects the investigation. If no charge sheet comes in 5 months, the question is bound to arise.”
Questions that still did not get the answer
1. Who is the real owner of 52 kg of gold and crores of rupees?
2. Is Saurabh Sharma really the focal point of this entire racket or just a pawn?
3. Where are the diaries and documents that were said to have big names?
4. Is this case being weakened by entangling in legal stalks?
Case is in court, but charge sheet incomplete, action in balance
Saurabh Sharma has got bail in the Lokayukta case, but he is still in jail in the case of other agencies. Chetan Gaur and Sharad Jaiswal are also in judicial custody. It was being said that the diary related to the case includes the names of many big officials and leaders, but till now no ‘big fish’ has been caught.
Gold recovered from unclaimed car found in forest
On 19 December 2024, the Lokayukta police raided the house of soldier Saurabh Sharma in Arera Colony, Bhopal on charges of disproportionate assets. The same night, 52 kg of gold and crores of cash were recovered from an unclaimed car in Mandori forests near Bhopal. After this, Saurabh Sharma, his companions Chetan Gaur and Sharad Jaiswal were arrested. In the raid, information about about two and a half quintals of silver, documents of several land, bank passbook and suspicious transactions were revealed.
In addition to the Lokayukta, the ED (Enforcement Directorate), Income Tax Department and the State Police are investigating this high-profile case, but even after five months, neither the name of any big influence was revealed, nor the agencies have been able to present the matter in a concrete manner in the court.
The Lokayukta, who had first raided, has not been able to file a charge sheet yet. The ED and Income Tax Department allegedly tried to investigate the fund trail, but have failed to prove the real source of black earnings and the ownership of gold and silver.
