The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday arrested an IRS officer working as Additional Commissioner of Customs and GST for a money laundering probe, government sources said.
Sachin Sawant, who had earlier worked as deputy director at the Mumbai zonal office with the federal agency, was taken into custody under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after the agency raided its premises and something else in Mumbai on Tuesday.
According to sources, the officer was posted in Lucknow.
The money laundering case against the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer arose out of a CBI FIR filed against him alleging insufficient assets.
