MUMBAI: The CBI on Friday seized Rs 50 lakh from eight bank accounts maintained by M S Bali, chief post master general (Maharashtra & Goa). The accounts were maintained in Faridabad and Gwalior. This money is in additional to over Rs 50 lakh and foreign currencies that have already been recovered from him.
Bali was arrested on Wednesday night for demanding a bribe of Rs 2 crore for granting an NoC to a builder to develop a land, a portion of which was reserved for a post office.
Bali has reportedly told the CBI during interrogation that he collected the foreign currencies during his trips abroad. Deputy director general (vigilance) from the department of telecommunication, Ashutosh Tripathi, met CBI officials in Mumbai on Friday.
The vigilance department will carry out a probe into Bali's decisions taken during his stint in Mumbai, said a source.
