In Mumbai, the CBI filed a chargesheet against income-tax officer Sandeep Singh on Monday. Singh had been working with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on deputation as an assistant director when he was allegedly caught accepting a bribe in August. Singh was leading an ED search team that raided a jeweller’s home in Mumbai in connection with a suspected money laundering case involving an investment app controlled by Chinese nationals. Although the ED’s Delhi-based team was handling the investigation, Singh was not an investigating officer. Following the raid at the jeweller’s residence, Singh reportedly demanded a bribe of Rs 20 lakh from the jeweller, threatening to arrest his son in the case. Singh instructed the jeweller to deliver the money to him in Delhi through hawala channels. The jeweller sought assistance from the CBI and filed a corruption complaint against Singh. The CBI set up a sting operation and apprehended Singh after he accepted the bribe in Delhi. Previously, Singh’s bail plea was turned down by the sessions court and he is currently in jail custody. During his arrest, the CBI confiscated a phone that was not registered in Singh’s name.
