The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday arrested two superintendents posted at the Goods and Service Tax (GST) office for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe.
Those arrested have been identified as Vivek Dekate and Sanjeev Kumar. A complaint was registered against two under Section 7 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The two accused were produced before the Special CBI Judge, who remanded them to three-day CBI custody.
The officers were caught red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh from the complainant. The amount has been recovered from their possession.
The complainant alleged that the accused demanded Rs 3 lakh settle the service tax liability for the financial year 2016-17. Further probe is on.
