A written complaint dated 04.03.2025, addressed to the The Head of Branch, CBI, AC-I, New Delhi has been received from
Shri Vipin Malik, Inspector, CBI, AC-I, New Delhi (The written complaint is attached herewith), regarding the commission of
criminal misconduct by Shri Bimlendu Shekhar Jha, the then Executive Director, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL).
It is alleged in the complaint that Shri Bimlendu Shekhar Jha, while in public service, amassed assets disproportionate to his all
known legal sources of income and intentionally enriched himself illicitly during the period from 01.04.2018 to 05.07.2022. Shri
Bimlendu Shekhar Jha, a senior officer with Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL), was subject to an investigation
under case RC No. 216 2022 A0008 dated 05.07.2022, registered by the CBI, AC-I, New Delhi. During the investigation,
searches conducted at the residential and office premises of Shri BS Jha on 05.07.2022, yielded significant evidence, including
cash, jewellery, and various documents related to the assets, income, and expenditure of Shri BS Jha and his wife, Smt.
Seema Rani Jha.
It is further alleged in the complaint that at the start of the check period, i.e., on 01.04.2018, the assets of Shri BS Jha were
valued at Rs. 59,86,321/-, but by the end of the check period on 05.07.2022, his assets had grown to Rs. 3,12,23,024/-. His
total income during this period was Rs. 2,40,29,024/-, while his total expenditure amounted to Rs. 1,41,75,424/-. Based on
these figures, the assets acquired during this period amounted to Rs. 2,52,36,703/-. However, considering his likely savings of
Rs. 98,53,600/-, the difference of Rs. 1,53,83,103/- clearly represents assets that are disproportionate to his known legal
sources of income, constituting an illicit enrichment of 64.01%.
It is further alleged that the acquisition of these assets could not be satisfactorily accounted for, and it was found that Shri
BS Jha had enriched himself illicitly through criminal misconduct during his tenure as a public servant. As such, it is prima facie
disclosed that Shri BS Jha committed an offence punishable under Section 13(2) r/w 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption
Act, 1988 (Un-amended), and Section 13(2) r/w 13(1)(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Amended in 2018),
which relates to the acquisition of disproportionate assets by a public servant.
The complaint prima facie discloses commission of offence by Shri Bimlendu Shekhar Jha, the then Executive Director of PGCIL
punishable under Section 13(2) r/w 13(1)(e) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Un-amended) and Section 13(2) r/w
13(1)(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Amended in 2018) and substantive offences thereof. Hence a regular
case is hereby registered against Shri Bimlendu Shekhar Jha and entrusted to Anurag Choukse, Inspector, CBI, AC-I, New
Delhi for investigation and report.
