JJM scam: ED questions Joshi on money transfers to son, family members

Jaipur: After arresting former PHED minister Mahesh Joshi Thursday in the Jal Jeevan Mission scam case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Saturday claimed that it has uncovered a crucial chronology of financial transactions between him and his family.
During the interrogation, the ED said it laid its hand on some incriminating evidence of the money trail and claimed that the former minister allegedly circulated the illicit money paid by the projects's contractors through his son's account.
ED officials questioned Joshi on six different transactions carried out between him and his family members which they found suspicious. Although Joshi attempted to evade questions aimed at his money transactions, the ED officials corroborated their findings with factual and detailed information based on his bank account details.
"Various things need to be questioned and examined. Of course, our focus is on some tenders in the Jal Jeevan Mission and specific money transactions in his accounts, as well as some deposits from his account to the accounts of his family members. The matter is under investigation, and we can't divulge many details," said a senior officer of the ED on the condition of anonymity.
