SUPDT. JACOB ABRAHAM
(28-Oct-1957 to 19-July-2016)
A sad news friends, Shri Jacob Abraham, Superintendent of Central Excise, is no more.
He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to the Lake Shore Hospital at Ernakulam, near Kochi, Kerala. He breathed his last at 9.45 pm yesterday. He is survived by his wife Sherly and 2 sons.
The funeral is scheduled for 11 am on Friday, the 22-July-2016, at Haripadd, near Allepuzha, Kerala.
He joined the Dept. as an UDC and rose up the ranks. Though he was, slim, not very tall, not a very muscular person and keeping a very low profile, but his network of informers & timely action made him one of the best "jaanbaaz" officers of Mumbai.

He has worked in almost all the other sister organisations of the Department, right from M&P wing, Enforcement Directorate and was one of the most successful officers in DRI, Mumbai.
He has filed the largest number of DRI-Is amongst the officers of the Department.
When in DRI, in the follow-up action of an Ahmedabad DRI case involving forged DGFT licences for import of coal, he was the officer responsible for not only detaining Gautam Adani, but also arrested his brother Rajesh Adani, in the year 1994, inspite of contrary directions from the then Chairman, CBEC.
Some of his note-worthy cases were made against the MORE group, who were running the biggest racket of forged DGFT licences, in 1997-98. Another case in 2006 was of antiques smuggling, among many others including numerous cases of Red Sanders smuggling.
In recognition of his services to the Department, he was conferred with the Presidential Award for meritorious service.
