New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has reportedly found that Rs 1.50 crore in kickbacks was paid to former External Affairs minister K Natwar Singh's son Jagat Singh in the oil-for-food scam.
Jagat Singh, however, strongly denies any such dealings. "I will not comment till there is documentary evidence. I challenge the ED to give an account number for these alleged deposits," the report quoted Jagat Singh as saying.
Quoting unnamed sources, a leading TV channel reported on Thursday that kickbacks in the oil contracts have been finally traced to Jagat Singh and the breakthrough came last week after ED got 'crucial bank documents' that showed money transactions abroad.
The report said Jagat Singh received Rs 1.5 crore of the total Rs 8 crore paid by Masefield as kickback, which was allegedly deposited in a London bank account in 2001.
The remaining money was shared by various others, including his counsin Aditya Khanna, the channel said.
