Harish Rawat Steps Down From Congress Posts After Cash, Gold Recovered From His PA

ED said it seized Rs 32 lakh, gold and 12 luxury wristwatches from Harish Rawat’s aide in a money-laundering probe tied to a 2016 exam case.

  • On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate raided Chandan Singh Jeena, a personal assistant to former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat, at multiple locations in Dehradun as part of a money laundering investigation.
  • The PMLA case stems from alleged irregularities in the 2016 Gram Panchayat Vikas Adhikari Exam, where the agency claimed OMR answer sheets were "diverted" from the UKSSSC's secure custody to a private residence.
  • Agents recovered Rs 32 lakh in cash, gold coins and chains weighing about 200.5 grams, and 12 luxury wristwatches including Rolex, Rado, Piaget, Movado, Tissot, and Casio Edifice from Jeena's residence.
  • Authorities froze bank accounts belonging to Jeena and his family members, holding Rs 52.16 lakh, while the agency seized his mobile phone for forensic analysis.
  • Jeena currently serves as a personal assistant to Rawat and previously worked as an OSD during the Congress leader's tenure as chief minister from 2014–17.
