The CBI filed the case in 2015 on a complaint from the ED itself. Following searches in September 2015, the officer was shifted out of the agency along with two others. The money laundering case allegedly involved hawala operator Afroz Fatta. However, the ED received multiple complaints alleging that the officers were demanding and receiving money from the suspects. They would pass on information to the accused officer for conducting searches against the suspects and subsequently, raise bribery demands.
