BluSmart saga: ED raids Gensol offices, detains co-promoter Puneet Jaggi | Business News
The Enforcement Directorate Thursday conducted searches against beleaguered Gensol Engineering Ltd and detained its co-promoter Puneet Singh Jaggi from a Delhi hotel, official sources said.
The raids were conducted at the company’s premises in Delhi, Gurugram and Ahmedabad under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
The promoter brothers of the company, Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi — who also cofounded EV cab service BluSmart, are under the scanner of the federal probe agency following a SEBI report against them for alleged financial misconduct and diversion of funds.
The sources told PTI that Puneet Jaggi was detained by the ED from a Delhi hotel while Anmol Jaggi is stated to be in Dubai.
The ED action is based on the SEBI order which claimed that Gensol Engineering obtained loans from Power Finance Corporation and IRDEA Ltd for procurement of BluSmart EVs and EPC contracts.
However, according to the sources, the company instead of utilising these funds for the intended purposes had diverted the funds for purchasing the assets in personal name of promoters or their relatives or in various shell entities floated by the group.
