A special CBI court today found Col BS Guraya (retd) guilty in a disproportionate assets case, which had been pending for 28 years. He was found guilty under Sections 13 (1) (e) and 13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act and taken into police custody. The quantum of his sentence will be announced on August 22.

Guraya was sentenced to two years in jail in February by the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate in another case for selling attached property. His property was attached during the investigation of a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court had directed that he was not entitled to sell his land. However, he sold off one of the attached properties. A case was registered by the premier investigating agency.

It was stated that between January 1987 and August 1990, the accused, as a serving Army officer, and some others had acquired properties worth Rs 82.58 lakh. The properties were disproportionate to his known sources of income. The CBI court, during the trial, had also attached the Sector 9 house of the former Army officer. He had several properties in his as well as his family members’ name in Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana.
