New Delhi: In a major development in its ongoing corruption probe, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has unearthed significant unaccounted assets during searches linked to a senior Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer.
The agency reported the recovery of approximately 3.5 kilograms of gold, 2 kilograms of silver, and ₹1 crore in cash during raids at multiple locations. The searches were conducted as part of an investigation into the alleged misconduct involving two individuals, including the senior IRS official, who currently serves as Additional Director General, Directorate of Taxpayer Services, in New Delhi.
In addition to the cash and precious metals, the CBI also seized documents related to 25 bank accounts, a bank locker, and property papers for immovable assets spread across Delhi, Mumbai, and Punjab.
The agency stated that the recovered materials are likely linked to disproportionate assets and could play a key role in building the case against the accused. Further investigations are ongoing.
