'Action against engineer will be taken after I-T dept report'

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said action will be taken against Noida Authority's engineer-in-chief Yadav Singh once the income tax (I-T) department submits its report to the government.

The I-T department conducted raid at the house of Kusumlata, wife of Noida authority's engineer-in-chief Yadav Singh, and recovered Rs 12 lakh cash, two kg gold and diamond jewellery.

Kusumlata is director of Meenu Creations, which manufactures designer clothes. The raids were conducted in connection with the sale of plots in Noida through bogus shareholdings. Singh's alleged role in misuse of his post to get land allotted is under scrutiny.
