The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said that it had on Friday arrested a Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax in Mumbai and two others in a bribery case.
"The agency has arrested Deputy Commissioner of IT Jaipal Swami, who was posted in Mumbai," a CBI official told IANS.
Apart from Swami, the agency has arrested two more persons - Prathmesh, a businessman and Kamlesh Shah, who was accepting the bribe on Swami's behalf.
According to CBI officials, Swami was giving undue favours to Prathmesh, who was giving bribes to the official's accomplice in the form of gold worth Rs 3 crore.
The official said searches were being carried out at three places in Mumbai and the three arrested will be produced in a court on Saturday.
