Two Customs and an Income tax Officer to spend New Year in jail – Caught by CBI
WE have unconfirmed reports that the CBI has arrested two Customs Officers in Goa while accepting bribes from foreign ships. It is reported that these officers would take foreign goods from the ships which they would later sell to shops in Panaji. This is a usual practice in many small Customs stations.
And in a remote place – Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand, an Income Tax officer was caught taking a bribe of Rs. 50,000/- from a trader.
All the three officers will have a happy New Year in jail!
The officers should question, “Is it worth the risk, especially after the decent salary hike in the Sixth Pay Commission?”
