Singla was arrested in Chandigarh for accepting Rs.90 lakh in cash from Manjunath, the conduit of Kumar, recently promoted as Member (Staff) and trying to get a lucrative position as Member (Electrical).
Singla has been involved in other controversies too.
Two labourers working at an under construction site in Phase I of the Industrial Area were killed after a 20-feet mud wall caved in at the site on May 12, 2011.
The incident occurred when the foundation of the commercial complex, a venture of Mirage Infra Limited “Acropolis”, owned by Vijay Singla, was being laid.
UT Deputy Commissioner Brijendra Singh had admitted that adequate safety measures were not followed at the site.
The Chandigarh Administration is yet to take action on the inquiry report in the booth scam by PS Shergill, former Additional Deputy Commissioner. Shergill had submitted his report to the UT Deputy Commissioner in the last week of February.
