The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday carried out searches in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur after booking 1989-batch civil servant couple Alka Rajvanshi Jain and Amit Jain for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of ₹5.5 crore, officials said.
Alka Jain, an Indian Revenue Service officer posted as Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) in Udaipur, and her husband Amit Jain, an India Railway Engineering Service officer posted as Group General Manager, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd., have been named in the FIR. Vikas Rajvanshi, a Chartered Accountant, who allegedly helped them acquire the illegitimate assets has also been booked by the CBI.
The premier investigative agency carried out searches at Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur at the premises of the accused on Friday, officials said.
Based on a tip off from a “reliable source”, the CBI has alleged that the couple acquired “huge movable and immovable assets” to the tune of ₹5.53 crore during the period from April, 2010 to June, 2018 in their own names. The worth of the amassed assets are disproportionate to their known legal sources of income, the CBI has alleged.
The investigating agency alleges that the couple had assets worth over ₹35.14 lakh in 2010, which swelled to a massive amount of ₹8.80 crore in June, 2018 which includes bank balances, vehicles and immovable assets in their own names.
According to the CBI, the civil servant husband and wife duo had earned ₹3.72 crore by way of salary, loan, GPF withdrawal et cetera during the period. In the same period, the couple incurred a total expenditure of ₹80.06 lakh, which includes repayment of the loans availed by them from bank, education, et cetera, thus making the worth of their disproportionate assets ₹5.53 crore, the CBI alleged.
