Former Income Tax Commissioner Shwetabh Suman surrenders in Haridwar Jail

Former Income Tax Commissioner Shwetabh Suman has surrendered after not getting relief from the Supreme Court. The Nainital High Court upheld the earlier sentence. At the same time, Shwetabha Suman could not get relief from the Supreme Court. 

After being sentenced to seven years in the disproportionate assets case, Shwetabha Suman was shifted to Haridwar jail in 2019 after being caught mobile in Dehradun jail. A few months later, he was released on interim bail.

Meanwhile, on March 5, 2022, the Nainital High Court, while restoring the earlier sentence, dismissed the bail bonds of Shwetabh Suman, Dr. Arun Kumar Singh and Rajendra Vikram Singh and ordered their custody.

The Supreme Court, in its order on May 13, had ordered surrender within seven days. The court had also asked to complete all the formalities related to surrender within a week.
