ED initiated investigation under PMLA on the basis of FIR filed by Haridwar Police in Uttarakhand under various sections of IPC. During investigation it was found that Techward Wali Village Industries Development Institute had fraudulently obtained huge amount of scholarship in the name of SC-ST students from Haridwar Social Welfare Department for the period 2011-12 to 2014-2015.
