ControversyCorruption Allegations and Legal Proceedings: Aman Singh and his wife, Yasmeen Singh, were accused of owning assets that were disproportionate to their income in February 2020. As a result, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Chhattisgarh registered an FIR against them. While serving in the Chhattisgarh government, Aman founded the Y. N. Singh Memorial Foundation (Trust), which he allegedly used for money laundering and investing illicit funds. Aman and his brothers, Aseem and Arun Singh, held a third of the foundation's shares. Aman is further accused of accepting large sums of money related to the Naya Raipur Project and a cricket stadium's construction for which he received funds via Dubai in his offshore bank accounts. He is allegedly involved in extortion and has received extortion money from sources like police, corporates, and excise, which was transferred to other Indian states to finance his brothers' businesses. It is claimed that Aman and his family own extensive undeclared land in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Delhi, Maharashtra, and overseas. According to sources, Aman made investments in Saudi Arabia’s ‘NEOM’ and Tunisia Economic City projects and acquired apartments in Burj Khalifa, Dubai under the name George Henry. After resigning from his post at the Government of Chhattisgarh, Aman joined RattanIndia Power and began drawing an annual salary of Rs. 6 crores following which his income became a matter of investigation as the company was not generating profits with respect to the salary withdrawn by Aman. He is also accused of ensuring payments to major media groups like India Today Group, Times Now Group, and Republic in return for advertisements. Furthermore, he is suspected of amassing over Rs. 2,500 crores in disproportionate assets, seemingly inconsistent with his legal income sources. Aman Kumar Singh's wife, Yasmeen Singh, is also named in various illegal activities. She allegedly attended dance events across India and abroad under the guise of being on government duty. She is accused of purchasing valuable land in Mandir Hasod, Chhattisgarh, using the pseudonym Bindu Kumari Omanna Amma. Additionally, she is believed to have connections with various terrorist organizations. Aman was part of other various scams and illegal activities. One of his activities includes the transfer of around Rs. 30 crores to Hong Kong, supposedly for mining machinery payments, although the equipment was never imported. Additionally, around Rs. 8 crores was designated for Dubai Feldspar but instead ended up in Yasmeen Singh's account; moreover, over a thousand acres of land from KRIBHCO, a central government-owned company under the Indian Ministry of Cooperation, was leased to the Y. N. Singh Memorial Foundation Trust. The trust also acquired several questionable properties in Bhopal, Mandideep, and Raisen, intensifying concerns about Aman Kumar Singh's legitimacy. As per the FIR registered by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Chhattisgarh, 'Cargill India Private Limited' deposited about Rs. 1,01,83,869 during the period from April 2013 to July 2016 and ‘Courtesan Consulting Private Limited’ deposited Rs. 75,55,058 during the period from October 2018 to November 2019 to the bank account of Aman Kumar Singh. The High Court dismissed the FIR at first, but the Supreme Court overturned this decision in 2023, stating that High Courts should not quash FIRs in corruption cases during the investigation stage, even if there are suspicions that the case was registered by a new government against officers of the previous government. Following this ruling, Aman Singh presented himself to the EOW on 6 March 2023; however, a week later, his request for anticipatory bail was denied by an additional district and sessions judge court in Raipur.
