The group has given the reason for this resignation to the busyness of Aman Kumar. However, a corruption case is going on against him in Chhattisgarh.
New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) said in a stock exchange filing last week that Aman Kumar Singh has resigned as non-executive director of the company, effective April 1.
Aman Kumar Singh is a former revenue officer, who was a powerful bureaucrat in the Raman Singh-led BJP government in Chhattisgarh. Also, he was the Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Raman Singh. In November 2022, he left the job to become the brand custodian and head of corporate affairs at Adani. At the same time, when Adani Group acquired NDTV, then the group included him in the board of directors.
In February 2020, the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) filed an FIR against Aman Kumar Singh and his wife Yasmeen Singh in a disproportionate assets case, which was quashed by the High Court. Last month, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court order saying that the High Court should not quash FIRs at the stage of investigation. Even if this case was done by the new government against the previous government.
Following this order of the Supreme Court, Aman Kumar appeared before the EOW on 6 March. At the same time, a week later, the Additional and District Court of Raipur has also rejected his anticipatory bail petition.
Aman Kumar Singh is the second person from the Adani Group to resign from the NDTV board. Earlier on March 9, NDTV had told the stock exchange that Sunil Kumar has resigned from the post of Additional Non-Executive Independent Director of the company.
