The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case of disproportionate assets against Puneet Duggal, a former joint director with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MoCA). Last year, the CBI had arrested Duggal and three others, including an associate of a Mumbai firm, M/s Alok Industries, in a bribery case.
Agency officials said they have learnt that Duggal allegedly acquired assets (from 2017 to 2023) to the tune of Rs 97.54 lakh, which is 51.54% disproportionate to the known sources of his and his family’s income.
