The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has charge-sheeted a retired Major General and his wife for allegedly amassing assets disproportionate to their known sources of income. The charge-sheet filed in a special CBI court in Delhi accuses Major General (retd) Anand Kumar Kapoor and wife Mridula of amassing assets worth Rs3.37 crore.
Kapoor was with the Army Ordnance Corps when he came under the CBI scanner. Apart from the Corps, the agency raided 11 premises in Delhi, Shimla, Gurgaon, Jaipur and Mumbai in October 2007 to claim that Kapoor acquired illegal assets from November 14, 1971, to October 10, 2007.
A CBI officer said the assets, including 13 immovable ones, were in the names of Kapoor, Mridula and their two children. They include a house each in Goa and Shimla, four commercial properties and agriculture land in Delhi and three flats and three plots in Gurgaon.
The CBI also recovered Rs6 lakh from Kapoor’s Sainik Farms house, besides jewellery worth lakhs of rupees and 12 credit cards.
