JAMMU, May 26: In a significant development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Jammu, has registered a case against Rohit Sharma, the then Tehsildar of Bahu, in a disproportionate assets (DA) case.
As per the First Information Report (FIR), credible and reliable inputs were received by the agency indicating that Rohit Sharma had accumulated substantial wealth—both movable and immovable—during his tenure from January 1, 2020, to November 14, 2022. The assets were allegedly held in his name and that of his close family members and were grossly disproportionate to his known sources of income.
Following a preliminary assessment, the CBI found that Sharma was in possession of pecuniary assets and properties valued at approximately ₹1.33 crore (Rs 1,33,39,457) which he could not satisfactorily justify based on his official income during the said period.
Taking cognizance of the matter, the CBI has formally registered a regular case against Rohit Sharma. The investigation has been entrusted to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) Sushil Kumar of the CBI, ACB Jammu, who will probe the origins of the unexplained assets, scrutinize Sharma’s financial records, and determine the extent of any corrupt practices involved.
