Lady ITO in CBI Trap

By Vijay Kumar

GUDIVADA is a small town in the Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh. A businessman in this small town was asked a bribe of Rs. 4 lakhs by the local Income Tax Officer to finalise his assessments. He bargained and brought the amount demanded down to 2.5 lakh and the first instalment of Rs. 1.5 lakh was to be paid on Tuesday. The assessee met the lady IRS officer with the 1.5 lakh rupees bribe and actually paid it to her. The only catch was that the assessee had informed the CBI earlier. They followed the assessee and had a prized catch when they caught the ITO red handed with the 1.5 lakh rupees cash. Tomorrow is the Telugu New Year's Day, which our respected ITO will celebrate in prison - away from her family? Was it worth it madam?
