CBI books senior IRS official, others, in ₹4.22 cr disproportionate assets case

Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked a senior Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer currently posted with the Income Tax (I-T) Department for allegedly possessing assets worth ₹4.22 crore, disproportionate to his known sources of income. The action follows the agency's verification of a complaint received from the vigilance wing of the I-T Department. According to the CBI's First Information Report (FIR), the assets were allegedly accumulated during the officer's postings in Gujarat between January 2012 and March 2021. Alongside the officer, the CBI has named four others as co-accused — his wife, a Gujarat-based chartered accountant, and two officials associated with a partner firm of a Gujarat real estate group — for allegedly aiding him in concealing and investing illicit wealth. The agency has also booked unnamed individuals under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act for abetment and criminal misconduct by a public servant. The complaint from the Directorate General of Income Tax (Vigilance), New Delhi, dated August 2024, alleged that the officer had amassed several immovable properties in his and his wife's name that were not commensurate with their declared income. It cited details of four such properties and other financial transactions for verification. A discreet enquiry by a CBI inspector, completed in February this year, corroborated the allegations. The findings indicated that the officer had acquired both movable and immovable assets, including multiple properties, in his and his family members' names during his tenure in Gujarat. The CBI stated that the officer was on study leave abroad when the probe was initiated. In one instance highlighted in the FIR, the officer is alleged to have purchased four villas in Gujarat in September 2020, registering them in the name of his wife and the relative of the chartered accountant. Within a week of registration, the chartered accountant's family member reportedly executed a will transferring their share of the property — along with other valuable items — to the IRS officer. The FIR further mentions that a search conducted by the I-T Department in September 2021 led to the seizure of evidence suggesting these properties were undervalued at the time of purchase, raising concerns about possible irregularities. A senior CBI official said, 'The officer was found in possession of disproportionate assets amounting to ₹4.22 crore. He prima facie misused his official position to enrich himself illicitly, in violation of the Prevention of Corruption Act.' The agency also noted that several of the transactions and asset acquisitions were not disclosed to the department, as required under the Conduct Rules applicable to public servants. Further investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the alleged misconduct and the roles of the other accused.

Pakistan and Afghanistan agree to advance Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan rail project, boost regional ties

Pakistan and Afghanistan on Sunday agreed to advance a vital railway line project, considered a key step for regional connectivity. read more Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to move forward with the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (UAP) railway line project, a key step toward enhancing regional connectivity, the Pakistani Foreign Office said Sunday. The agreement was reached during a phone call between Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Afghanistan's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. Both leaders emphasized the importance of the project and committed to working closely to finalize the framework agreement soon. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The development follows Pakistan's May 30 announcement to upgrade diplomatic relations with Kabul to the ambassador level, a move Afghanistan has agreed to reciprocate, according to the Foreign Office. The UAP rail project aims to improve trade and transport links across Central and South Asia, fostering economic cooperation and stability in the region. Both leaders also reviewed implementation of decisions taken during DPM/FM's visit to Kabul on April 19 and vowed to continue working together to establish mutual trust between the two brotherly nations. Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan had come under stress after Islamabad accused Kabul of sheltering Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists. Observers opine that the ties are apparently improving due to efforts of China, which is using a trilateral mechanism involving the foreign ministers of the three countries to sort out differences. The railway project to link Pakistan with Central Asia through Afghanistan is an important project to improve interconnectivity in the region. Dar's interaction with Muttaqi comes a day after he held a telephone conversation with Uzbekistan's Foreign Minister Saidov Bakhtiyor Odilovich on Saturday. 'They discussed the modalities for early finalisation of the framework agreement for the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (UAP) Railway Line Project, including details of its signing ceremony in consultation with leadership of Afghanistan,' the foreign office said.
