CBI Takes Action Against IRS Officer

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended Amit Kumar Singhal, an Additional Director General stationed at the Directorate of Taxpayer Services, on charges of accepting a bribe of ₹25 lakhs.


Officials reported on Sunday that Singhal, an officer from the 2007 batch of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), allegedly solicited a total bribe of ₹45 lakhs. They indicated that the first installment of ₹25 lakhs was set to be delivered to his residence in Mohali on Saturday.


Following a complaint regarding the bribery request, the CBI set up a sting operation and arrested a person named Harsh Kotak, who was reportedly collecting the bribe on Singhal's behalf at his Mohali home.


A spokesperson for the CBI stated, 'In addition to soliciting the bribe, threats of legal action, heavy fines, and harassment were also made if the payment was not made.' Singhal was taken into custody from his residence in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.


The CBI is conducting raids in multiple locations across Delhi, Punjab, and Mumbai in connection with this case.
