Ludhiana, January 10 Two truckloads of official documents accompanying the challan to be served to each of the 35 accused and a huge mound weighing 60 kg for Capt Amarinder Singh alone! The multi-crore Ludhiana City Centre case began this morning with “lots of paper-work”. The challan served on former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh who is the main accused in the alleged scam is the heaviest of all the pack of documents weighing nearly 60 kg. The challan says that Captain and his men caused a loss of Rs 2,600 crore in the sale of land at the City Centre.

The battery of Vigilance officials led by SSP Kanwaljit Singh Sandhu left no stone unturned to see that, "our hard work of almost a year is passed on just the way it should be”. “We will make it sure that each of the accused gets to pick up his share of documents himself and this includes the Captain too. This is our duty," said the SSP. And to present this huge volume of documents before the court and argue the bail applications that came up today morning was a six member legal team led by District Attorney Mitr Sain Goel. “It took me almost 24 days to go through these documents. My team has been studying these documents day and night. The volume of documents is so huge," he says. The court worked till three thirty in the afternoon without a break.

VB officials say, "It took toners worth Rs 3 lakh to get all these documents photocopied and another Rs 2 lakh to buy new photostat machines." The original challan is almost 150 pages long, something uncommon as per the legal luminaries. Riding high on confidence, the VB officials claim, "We have a watertight case against Captain and his coterie. These are all documentary evidence and we have signatures of the main accused on all such documents which are very incriminating in nature. The evidence is for all to see."
