Yesterday, the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Subedar Junior Engineer (Civil) of the IAF's Military Engineering Service (MES) after raids at his house yielded Rs 8 lakh in cash and jewellery worth Rs 2.45 lakh, which are allegedly assets disproportionate to his income.
"He (the man who was arrested yesterday) is a Subedar JE (Civil) of the Military Engineering Service (MES). He is under Garrison Engineer (GE) Jamnagar, which comes under the Engineering-in-Chief (E-in-C) branch. He is not an Indian Air Force Engineering Officer," an Indian Air Force statement said.
The CBI's ACB team has brought the arrested MES engineer to Gandhiangar for questioning, CBI sources said.
