Senior IRS Officer Caught Red-Handed in ₹25 Lakh Bribery Case, CBI Cracks Down. Raids conducted in Punjab, Delhi and Mumbai..
New Delhi: In a major crackdown, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a 2007-batch Senior Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, currently serving as Additional Director General, Directorate of Taxpayer Services, New Delhi, along with a private individual for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹25 lakh.
According to sources, the total bribe amount demanded was ₹45 lakh, and ₹25 lakh was being handed over as advance when the sleuths nabbed the duo.
Raids were simultaneously conducted at multiple locations across Punjab, Delhi, and Mumbai in connection with the case.
Though CBI has not disclosed the names of the accused, the arrest of such a high-ranking official raises serious questions about the rot within the country’s tax administration system.
The investigation is ongoing, and more revelations are likely to follow.
