<p>A 38-year-old Customs superintendent allegedly committed suicide by jumping into a pond near <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/taloja-jail-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Taloja jail</a> in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/navi-mumbai-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Navi Mumbai</a>, police said on Saturday.</p>
<p>His body was found floating in the water on Friday.</p>
<p>A senior Navi Mumbai Police officer said the deceased Indian Revenue Service (IRS) official, identified as Mayank Singh, left behind a one-page suicide note in which he blamed six persons, including three Customs officials, for harassing him.</p>
<p>He said police have registered a case of accidental death and investigating the case from different angles. Nobody is booked for abetment to suicide yet.</p>
<p>The police officer said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered a case against Singh last week for allegedly clearing an import consignment without appropriate customs levies. Two days back, the CBI had searched the premises of Singh and others after registering a case of corruption.</p>
<p>"After registration of the case, Singh was feeling low due to which he might have taken the extreme step," the officer claimed.</p>
<p>The allegation against Singh is he had received bribes from two firms for releasing their goods without allowing the Customs department to collect a Rs 14.5 lakh fine. The goods were held up by the Customs Intelligence Unit at the bond warehouse of JNPT (Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust) in Raigad.</p><p>
