CBI apprehends 2 ED officials in Gujarat in bribery case

The CBI on Friday nabbed two officials of the Enforcement Directorate, including an IRS officer posted as Deputy Director, in Gujarat in a case of alleged bribery of Rs 5 lakh, officials said.

The 2013-batch Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer and an Assistant Director of the ED were apprehended after the CBI laid a trap based on information about bribery.

It is alleged that the ED officials had demanded a bribe of Rs 75 lakh from a company and the first installment of Rs 5 lakh was being handed over when the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) laid the trap, they said.
