The CBI has booked a CGST superintendent and a former PCDA officer for allegedly amassing illicit wealth far exceeding their known sources of income.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched investigations into two separate cases involving disproportionate assets in Mumbai.
H. Kumar, a CGST superintendent, is accused of possessing ₹78.63 lakh in illicit assets, amounting to 358.45% of his known income from June 2021 to August 2023.
Kumar's wife is also implicated for allegedly abetting the accumulation of these assets, and both face charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
S.C. Jha, a former accounts officer with the Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (PCDA) (Navy), is accused of holding ₹83.55 lakh in disproportionate assets, or 58.45% of his known income, over a 15-year period.
The CBI is examining bank account details and has requested statements from the accused as part of ongoing investigations into both cases.
