In a significant development, IRS officer Kapil Raj (IRS-C&IT:2009) has resigned from government service. His resignation has been formally accepted with effect from July 17, 2025. At the time of his resignation, Raj was serving as Additional Director in the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), Delhi. He had recently come back from a posting with the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
During his tenure at ED, Kapil Raj was involved in several politically sensitive investigations. He served at the rank of Additional Director, leading probes that often made national headlines and involved top political figures.
One of his most well-known cases was the Delhi Excise Policy case, which led to the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
He also led the probe into the Jharkhand Land Scam, where then Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested. The case looked into illegal land deals and misuse of government land.
Earlier, while posted in ED’s Mumbai office, Raj worked on the PNB scam involving Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, who were accused of cheating the bank using fake documents.
His name is also linked to other major cases like the West Bengal coal smuggling scam and the Yes Bank fraud, both involving high-profile people.
