MUMBAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a fresh case against an Indian Revenue Service officer, who worked as the joint development commissioner at SEEPZ-SEZ (Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone, Special Economic Zone), Mumbai, and four others, including his wife, in an alleged corruption case. The IRS officer was arrested by the CBI last month in a separate alleged corruption case, along with six other SEEPZ officials.

The case was registered on January 1 on a complaint submitted by a deputy superintendent of police, anti-corruption branch, CBI. The fresh case is related to allegations that the accused officer, CPS Chauhan, had begotten wealth disproportionate to his income during his stint as a public servant, and the other accused, including his wife, had abetted him in the offence. A firm run by the wife was also allegedly used for the purpose.
