The CBI has arrested an assistant provident fund commissioner and an enforcement officer of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), Lucknow, along with a middleman, in connection with a Rs 8-lakh bribery case.
They allegedly demanded Rs 12 lakh through a consultant and the middleman for “not imposing tax in an improper way on a private company engaged in supply of manpower.” The accused were caught red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 8 lakh, and they will be produced before the special judge for CBI cases in Lucknow. Searches are being conducted at four locations in Lucknow at the official and residential premises of the accused.
