I didn’t commit any robbery that ED raided my house- Harak Rawat

Dehradun : Harak Singh Rawat, said I did not commit any theft or robbery that the Enforcement Directorate raided my house like this. I was sleeping at home, suddenly ED people came, took my mobile and searched the entire house. They did not find anything except some files and three and a half lakh rupees. All this action took place for two generators.

If a notice had been given for this, he would have returned it himself. Former Forest Minister Dr. Harak Singh Rawat said, during the Covid period, two generators were found from Kalagarh Division. An office was built in Chiddarwala, so the generator was kept there. After stepping down from the post of minister, my private secretary had written to the DFO that government property should be taken back. It was the responsibility of the department to take them back, there was no need to raid for this.

Pakharon Tiger Safari and Dhela Rescue Center was the project of the Prime Minister. Work started after the permission of the Central Government for Pakharon Tiger Safari in 106 hectares. In this, 16 hectares were approved for non-forest. If I have any role in this entire episode, it is that I had requested the Central Government for early approval of the project.
