Kochi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special court on Friday sent Customs Assistant Commissioner S Anil Kumar and his driver Rejith alias Jikku in CBI custody for five days.
Both were arrested for receiving money and gifts from T K Fayaz, alleged gold smuggler.
The CBI submitted before the court that Anil Kumar had received financial assistance from Fayaz for his marriage last month.
The CBI said it has recovered an LED TV, treadmill, watch and several crockery items gifted by Fayaz to Anil Kumar.
“The case against Anil Kumar is not just of receiving monetary gain, but of misusing his position as a public servant. Anil Kumar had used Fayaz’ car for a month for his marriage purpose. Rejith was the driver of the car.
When the CBI registered a case against Customs officials, Anil Kumar had shifted Fayaz’ gifts to Rejith’s house. The money was deposited to bank accounts maintained by several people in various banks, which Anil Kumar could not identify,” the CBI submitted.
It also filed the case diary before the judge in which details of gifts received by Anil Kumar was given.
