ED questions VK Singh's aide SP Singh over loan default case

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday questioned Minister of State for External Affairs General (retd) VK Singh`s political attache SP.Singh in connection with Rs 30 crore loan default case.

Singh took a loan from Syndicate Bank and Punjab National Bank.

The Enforcement Directorate is likely to freeze the 30 crore loan amount or property of SP Singh.

Earlier, General (retd) had appointed Shambhu Prasad Singh, a controversial former defence contractor, who was arrested by the Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing last year, as his political attache.

While Shambhu has been facing trial in a disproportionate assets case registered by the CBI in 2002, the agency also filed a preliminary enquiry (PE) against him.
