EPF Scam: UP electricity board employees lose all hope, say suicide seem only option

The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) is reported to have invested more than Rs 2,600 crore of the Employees' Provident Fund in the controversial Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL), whose promoters were recently grilled by the Enforcement Directorate for their links with a front company of the late Iqbal Mirchi, a former aide of Dawood Ibrahim.
Acting swiftly after the scam came to light, the Yogi government registered an FIR and arrested two senior officials -- then secretary of the UP State Power Employees Trust Praveen Kumar Gupta, and UPPCL then director (Finance) and chief of its Provident Fund Trust Sudhanshu Dwivedi.
