CBI today registered a fresh case against senior IAS officer of Delhi government S P Singh, at present in judicial custody, for allegedly amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.
According to the fresh FIR, Singh is alleged to have amassed Rs 6.14 crore disproportionate to his known sources of income.
A 1984 batch IAS officer of Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory cadre, Singh, who was the Principal Secretary in the Department of SC, ST and Minorities, was arrested along with his personal assistant by CBI on December 8 night for allegedly receiving bribe of Rs 2.20 lakh for clearing bills of a security firm supplying manpower to his department.
After his arrest, the CBI claimed to have recovered 31 gold bars, weighing 3.20 kg and worth over Rs 82 lakh, from one of the five lockers of Singh.
Sources claimed that the recoveries made from his residence showed that he was living a chic lifestyle as the agency found 300 bottles of high-end liquor brands and expensive watches.
CBI had claimed that so far, documents related to eight properties in posh areas such as Safdarjung Enclave here, Sector 56 in Gurgaon, Sector 44 and Sector 50 of Noida and high-end construction in Greater Noida worth around Rs 20 crore, have also been recovered besides fixed deposit receipts of over Rs one crore.
