CBI Books CGST Officer for Amassing Disproportionate Assets
A tax officer named Ratiram Meena is in trouble with the CBI.
The CBI is like a special police force that investigates big crimes.
They found out that Mr. Meena has a lot more money and stuff than he should have based on his job's salary.
Between 2018 and 2025, his wealth grew from about 51 lakh rupees to over 4 crore rupees.
This is a huge increase!
The CBI thinks he got this extra money illegally and hid it using companies in his wife and son's names.
They searched his homes and found gold, silver, fancy cars, and even bank lockers.
Now, the CBI is looking into all his money and property to figure out where the illegal wealth came from.
CBI has registered a case against CGST Assistant Commissioner Ratiram Meena for disproportionate assets.
Meena's wealth reportedly grew from Rs 51.73 lakh in August 2018 to over Rs 4.08 crore by August 2025.
The CBI alleges he acquired illegal assets worth Rs 2.54 crore, nearly double his known income.
Investigations reveal Meena operated firms under family members' names to conceal illegal funds.
Raids led to the recovery of jewelry worth Rs 35 lakh, luxury vehicles, and the discovery of bank lockers.
