NEW DELHI: The central government has made a serious revelation in the Delhi High Court regarding the CMRL monthly quota case. The government informed the court that CMRL was involved in illegal financial transactions amounting to ₹185 crore. These findings were submitted by the Centre based on investigations conducted by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) and the Income Tax Department. The Centre described the corruption committed by CMRL as "beyond imagination" in its submission to the court.

Earlier, the Delhi High Court had reserved its judgment on a petition filed by CMRL challenging the SFIO investigation into the monthly salary case. The court had directed the parties to submit written arguments by January 20, ahead of the expected judgment in the case. Following this, the Income Tax Department and SFIO submitted their written arguments to the court.

The Centre stated that the SFIO investigation revealed corruption worth ₹185 crore, including financial transactions involving Veena Vijayan's company, various political parties, and leaders. CMRL allegedly created fake bills for goods transportation and waste disposal, claiming to have spent crores on these activities. Through these fraudulent practices, CMRL inflated its expenses to account for illicit funds. The Centre also dismissed CMRL's argument that the case lacked public interest.
