Tainted tax official gets plum posting

Arif A Khan  
FARIDABAD, Dec 2: Deputy Excise and Taxation Commissioner Mukesh Ghambhir, who was charged last week under the Prevention of Corruption Act and is currently absconding, has been transferred to Chandigarh as Deputy Commissioner, Flying Squad (Excise and Taxation).

In his capacity as flying squad chief, Ghambhir is expected to check corruption within the department. Confirming his transfer, sources said that though his post is equivalent to the one he held here, his jurisdiction is much wider.

Meanwhile, Ghambhir's anticipatory bail petition will come up for hearing at a district court in Faridabad tomorrow. The district police today interrogated his wife Renu. Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mamta Singh said, ``She has made several contradictory statements. We are investigating several sale-deeds made in the name of different persons which were found during the raid on their Faridabad residence.'' The police claim that they had found several sale-deeds of different houses, including one inSukhdev Vihar, located in south Delhi.

The mode of payment for the Ghambhirs' residence is also under investigation, police said. ``The payment for the house was made through a cheque in the name of one N K Goyal. It was encashed in an account under Goyal's name but bore Ghambhir's address,'' they added.

A few relatives and friends of the Ghambhir family are also under surveillance, police disclosed. Several blank cheques were also found during the raid. ``Whatever transaction has been made on the previous sequence of these cheques runs into lakhs of rupees,'' said the ASP.

The bank accounts were operated by Renu's nephew, Gautam Ghambhir. A second nephew, Amit Dhir, a Delhi-based businessman, is also scheduled for interrogation, according to the police.

The police have found a Voluntary Disclosure of Income Scheme (VDIS) receipt for Rs 14 lakh in the name of Amit Dhir from the Ghambhir house. ``On verification, our team found that Dhir was not staying at the address mentioned in the VDIS receipt,''said the police.
