IRS officer Sahiram Meena's custody with the Anti-Corruption Bureau was extended Monday by a Kota court by two more days, said an ACB official.
A 1997-batch IRS officer, posted as an additional commissioner at Kota Narcotics Bureau was arrested by ACB sleuths Saturday while accepting a bribe of Rs one lakh, said ACB Additional Superintendent of Police Chandrasheel Thakur.
Thakur said Meena's custody was extended by the court after it was submitted to it that he was not cooperating with the investigative agency and proving to be a "hard nut to crack."
