Yadav Singh corruption case


The Yadav Singh corruption case is an alleged event of corruption in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Yadav Singh was the Engineer-in-Chief of the Noida Authority, Greater Noida Authority and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority. Raids conducted by the Income Tax Department in November 2014 at several locations, including his residence in Sector-51 Noida, showed that Singh owned property disproportionate to his known sources of income.
He was suspended by the Government of Uttar Pradesh and in February 2015 a one-member judicial commission to probe into the multi-crore case was set up the state government. In July 2015 Allahabad High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate the case stating that the allegations were most serious and the probe was complex.
The Uttar Pradesh government went to the Supreme Court of India against the High Court's order, however the Supreme Court refused to entertain the government's plea.
Earlier in March 2012, Singh was suspended and a first information report filed against him in a Rs 954 Crore properties scam. However, in 2013 the then Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav closed the case and canceled his suspension and reinstated him to the same post. In February 2020 Singh was again arrested by the CBI.
