New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS) A court here awarded three years' rigorous imprisonment to the then additional private secretary of a minister for amassing disproportionate assets of over Rs. 60 lakhs.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Vinod Kumar held Singh guilty in a 2002 disproportionate assets case and also slapped him with a fine of Rs. 10,000.

Singh was convicted under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

"...assets to the extent of Rs.67 lakhs were found beyond the means of the accused (Singh)... which he could not satisfactorily account for," the judge said.

CBI had registered a case against Singh Aug 8, 2002 and alleged that he amassed assets, both immovable and movable, of over Rs. 60 lakhs from 1995 to June, 2002 in his own name, in the name of his wife and others in Delhi, Faridabad, Lucknow and other places, which were disproportionate to his known sources of income.

Singh was additional private secretary to Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilisers Tapan Sikdar in 2002.

The order was delivered Dec 18, 2014, but released Monday.
