The agency found luxury vehicles, high-value properties, cash, and multiple bank accounts holding suubstantial funds, investments in insurance policies and links to a foundation allegedly used for laundering money.

How an Arts Graduate became GM (Technical) in a govt run IT company?
It's really surprising that an Arts graduate from Rajasthan College and a management graduate from RA Poddar Institute became General Manager (Technical) in a government owned IT firm – RajComp Info Service Limited (RISL). It is interesting to know that Chhatra Pal Singh doesn't posses any technical qualification unlike other technical staff of RISL.
“Even then he has been made General Manager (Technical). He was handling all important technical tenders of RISL. He was also the coordinator of free mobile scheme which was launched by Gehlot government last year,” said an official of RISL.
Singh has strong political and bureaucratic links which he used well to step up the ladder.
“He never follows office decorum and would use foul language with his juniors. He never dressed in a proper way and would don a hippie look without caring much for anyone. Even senior never objected to his demeanour,” said another official.
Living with a married woman
Controversies are not new to Chhatra Pal Singh. He had landed in trouble earlier also when he was accused of eloping with a married woman, who is a resident of Delhi.
Singh, already married and having children from first wife Mohini Rathore, was accused of staying with another woman. The ACB searched locker of Mohini Rathore and her residence in Mahadev Nagar also.
The husband of that woman had registered a police complaint last year against Singh in New Delhi. The complainant had also registered complaint with then chief minister office and department of personnel about keeping his wife illegally in ‘captivity'.
When the case was filed against Singh, he remained elusive for some days. However using his influence in the government he managed to settle the issue.
