The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a fresh corruption case against Indian Revenue Service officer CPS Chauhan, formerly the joint development commissioner at SEEPZ-SEZ (Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone-Special Economic Zone), Mumbai, and four others, including his wife.

The case, filed on January 1, accuses Chauhan of amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income during his tenure as a public servant. The FIR, based on a complaint by a deputy superintendent of police from the CBI’s anti-corruption branch, alleges that Chauhan’s wife and others abetted him in laundering and investing the ill-gotten wealth.

According to the FIR, a firm operated by Chauhan’s wife was allegedly used to conceal and channel funds obtained through corrupt means. The investigation also points to significant assets acquired in the names of family members as part of the alleged scheme.

This development follows Chauhan’s earlier arrest on December 17, 2024, in a separate corruption case. That case involved Chauhan and six other SEEPZ officials accused of accepting undue advantages through middlemen. The allegations included misusing their positions to manipulate the allotment of space, facilitate the disposal of imported goods, and allow the sale of duty-free goods in the market without paying appropriate duties.

The CBI has invoked sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in the fresh case, intensifying the legal troubles for Chauhan and his associates.

Further investigations are underway to unearth the full extent of the alleged corruption.
