The Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) Mumbai unit has registered a corruption case against an IRS officer couple for alleged Rs 4.6 crore 'illicit enrichment' — amassing assets illegally. The agency said Amit Kumar Singal was earlier posted as additional director general in the Directorate General of Taxpayer Services, New Delhi, while his wife Anupama previously served as an income-tax commissioner in New Delhi. According to the CBI, Singal was involved in amassing assets illegally, while his wife has been accused of abetting the offence.
Last year, the CBI had arrested Singal, along with an associate, in Delhi in a separate corruption case for allegedly demanding a Rs 25 lakh bribe. The latest case involves disproportionate assets and corruption charges, with investigations ongoing.
