Excise Inspector Pawan Sood Suspended

The Excise and Taxation section has suspended an inspector after he was found indulging in prohibited practices.

On June 6 last year, Excise and Taxation Commissioner Anurag Verma stated that inspector Pawan Sood passed the vehicle PB-10-BF-8655 carrying hosiery goods worth Rs 2.59 lakh at the Ludhiana Railway Station barrier, but did not forward any proof.

In PC records, Pawan altered the product from hosiery goods to knitted cloth valued around Rs 1.46 lakh, he stated, adding that it was detected that Sood had changed nearly 30 such entries in the last three months.

“We have placed Sood under suspension, while inspector Naresh Kumar, who was also found indulging in a similar case, has been shifted from Shamboo barrier to Gurdaspur,” Verma said.
