Patna, Jan 23: The Patna High Court has rejected senior Indian Police Service officer Amit Lodha’s plea to quash a first information report related to a disproportionate asset case lodged against him by the special vigilance unit and directed the agency to take the investigation of this case to its logical end within a period of six months from Monday.
The 1998 batch IPS officer, presently posted as IG, state crime records bureau, had on December 24, 2022 filed a criminal writ petition before the court to quash the FIR lodged against him on December 7, 2022.
In the present DA case, as per the allegations and the evidence which have been collected so far, it is contended that the petitioner has accumulated assets valued more than ₹7 crores even as his total income from all legal sources would not be more than ₹2 crores in gross without any deductions.
