Ahmedabad: A CBI court in Ahmedabad on March 30, 2026, convicted one Jasodaben Rameshbhai Vadadia in a disproportionate assets case and sentenced her to two years of rigorous imprisonment along with a fine of ₹20,000.

The case was registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 30, 2007, against Rameshbhai Fulchand Vadadia, then an Income Tax Officer posted under the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax, Gandhinagar Range, Udhyog Bhavan. The agency alleged that he had amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income to the tune of ₹29,49,977, amounting to 247% of his known income during the period between January 1, 2002, and April 30, 2007.

Following the investigation, the CBI filed a chargesheet on December 24, 2008, against Rameshbhai Vadadia and his wife, Jasodaben Vadadia, for allegedly acquiring disproportionate assets worth ₹25,46,398, which were 133.98% higher than their known sources of income.

During the course of the trial, Rameshbhai Vadadia passed away, following which the case against him was abated by the court.

The court found Jasodaben Vadadia guilty of abetting her husband in acquiring disproportionate assets beyond known sources of income. Accordingly, she was convicted for abetment in the disproportionate assets case.

After completion of the trial, the court pronounced the sentence, awarding two years of rigorous imprisonment and imposing a fine of ₹20,000. DeshGujarat
