CM's advisor demands ED probe into rise of London-based firm

Alleging phenomenal rise in the fortunes of a London-based company during former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna's tenure, Chief Minister Harish Rawat's media advisor and spokesman Surendra Kumar today asked the Centre to institute a Enforcement Directorate probe into the matter.
Kumar alleged that the London-based subsidiary of an Indian firm that was worth just 50,000 pounds in 2011 became worth 250 million pounds in 2012-13 when Bahuguna was the chief minister of Uttarakhand.
"Now that Bahuguna is with the BJP which claims about crusading against corruption, it is the party's moral responsibility to ask the Centre to have the dramatic rise in the company's earnings investigated by the Enforcement Directorate," he demanded.
