LUCKNOW, March 1 -- The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches at five premises across Uttar Pradesh on Friday in connection with a disproportionate assets (DA) case against Amit Singh, former chief general manager of the Ordnance Equipment Factory (OEF), Firozabad. The case was registered by the agency's Ghaziabad unit on February 26, officials said in a press note on Saturday. Searches were carried out in Agra, Lucknow, Bareilly and Kanpur after the agency obtained warrants from a competent court. Singh, a 1998-batch officer of the Indian Ordnance Factories Service (IOFS), allegedly amassed assets beyond his known sources of income during the check period from April 1, 2022, to December 31, 2025. During the raids, investigators seized documents related to immovable properties, bank passbooks, credit cards and vehicles. Details of three residential properties allegedly linked to Singh, including houses in Agra, Lucknow and Bareilly, were collected. The Agra flat was reportedly purchased in 2025, while the Lucknow flat was acquired in 2023. Searches at residential premises in Agra and Lucknow led to the recovery of jewellery valued at about Rs.49 lakh and cash worth Rs.5 lakh. Documents related to investments and other expenditures were also taken into custody for examination. According to the FIR, Singh allegedly possessed disproportionate assets worth Rs.55,58,471, which the agency said was 73.28% more than his known income during the check period....
