Vaghela lands in a Rs 1,700 crore scam

The country’s premier investigation agency has already begun searches at multiple locations in four cities—New Delhi, Gandhinagar, Mumbai and Kolkata—including the residence of Vaghela and others. The FIR was registered following a year-long preliminary inquiry into the matter. Vaghela, a senior Congress leader, is the Leader of the Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly and also a former Chief Minister of the western Indian state.
