Background of the Case

The disproportionate assets probe originates from an earlier investigation registered by CBI AC-I under Case No. RC 216 2025 A0005 on April 6, 2025. During searches carried out at the residential and office premises of the officer, investigators recovered substantial incriminating evidence, including unaccounted cash, gold and silver ornaments, as well as documents detailing heavy investments, properties, and expenditure.

Following the analysis of the seized records, the agency concluded that the public servant, aided and abetted by his wife, accumulated illicit assets worth ₹4,87,06,993 that could not be satisfactorily accounted for through known legal income sources. Dy. SP J. B. Vashisth has formally taken over the investigation.
