Suspended GAS Officer Ketki Vyas Sent to Judicial Custody in DA Case
A special court sent a government officer named Ketki Vyas to jail.
She works for the Gujarat government, but she has been suspended from her job.
The police think she has more money and things than her salary can explain.
Having too much wealth compared to your income is called having 'disproportionate assets.'
A group called the Anti-Corruption Bureau is investigating her for this.
Before she went to jail, the High Court said she could not get early bail.
The police opened her apartment in Ahmedabad and searched it while she was there.
They said they did not need to question her in police custody because most of their proof is paperwork.
Now she is being held at Sabarmati Central Jail while the case continues.
A special court in Ahmedabad sent suspended Class 1 Gujarat Administrative Service officer Ketki Vyas to judicial custody.
She was booked by the Anti-Corruption Bureau in a case of possession of Disproportionate Assets.
A day before the court order, Vyas was apprehended by the Detection of Crime Branch of Ahmedabad City Police and handed over to the ACB.
The Gujarat High Court had declined her anticipatory bail in the case more than a week earlier.
The ACB said it did not seek remand because its investigation is based on documentary evidence, and her previously sealed Ahmedabad apartment was opened, searched, and she was questioned in her presence.
