The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached movable assets worth Rs 31.76 crore belonging to Income Tax Officer Khurshed Khan and his wife, after investigators concluded that the couple accumulated wealth far exceeding their legitimate sources of income.
“The attachment was carried out on November 29 under Provisional Attachment Order No. 07/2025, following an FIR registered by the CBI’s Anti-Corruption Branch in Guwahati and a chargesheet filed in December 2021. Khan has been accused of possessing disproportionate assets during his tenure as a public servant,” said an ED official.
According to the ED, its probe revealed that between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019, Khan and his wife made substantial deposits across numerous bank and post office accounts.
“These assets were built using unexplained cash, misuse of official position, and layering of funds—activities inconsistent with their declared earnings,” said the official of the central agency.
The agency further claimed the couple attempted to justify the money through fabricated personal diary entries and fictitious income sources, including agricultural earnings, gifts from relatives, reimbursements for official expenditures, and income from garment stitching. None of these assertions withstood verification, officials said.
The attached assets will remain under provisional attachment as the ED’s money-laundering investigation progresses.
