CBI Books IRS Couple for Amassing Rs 4.6 Crore Disproportionate Assets

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Mumbai unit has registered a corruption case against a couple working in the Indian Revenue Service. They are accused of illegally accumulating wealth worth about Rs 4.6 crore.

According to the CBI, Amit Kumar Singal, who earlier worked as additional director general in the Directorate General of Taxpayer Services in New Delhi, is suspected of building assets beyond his known sources of income. His wife, Anupama, who previously served as an Income Tax Commissioner in New Delhi, is accused of helping him in this illegal activity.

The agency claims that Singal gathered these assets through corruption, and his wife allegedly assisted him in the process.

Separately, the CBI had also arrested Amit Kumar Singal last year in another corruption case. In that case, he and an associate were accused of demanding a bribe of Rs 25 lakh in Delhi.
