CBI arrests IRS Officer for Bribery - Power packed sensational story
THIS story has all the ingredients that would put Bollywood story spinners to shame - Politics, crime, economics, taxes, rivalry, high society, the rich and powerful and a lady as the central character.
The lady is a Deputy Commissioner in Income Tax - let's call her PR. Her husband GM is a top BJP functionary and a former personal secretary to a former union minister. Our Deputy Commissioner PR was a paying guest with the minister at that time.
There is RB, a builder and also a BJP leader.
Now our builder BJP leader RB got into trouble with the Income Tax Department and the graceful Deputy Commissioner agreed to help for a consideration of Rs. 25 lakhs. The deal was said to have been settled in the BJP office.
But the builder was not ready to pay up. So he alerted the CBI against his BJP colleague and the Agency stepped in and arrested the Income Tax Deputy Commissioner, her husband and a third person.
Now, this is not an ordinary corruption case. Both the complainant and beneficiary are senior BJP party functionaries and it seems the accused is close to BJP PM aspirant while the complainant is close to the State Chief Minister who is not exactly a blind follower of the PM in waiting.
