CBI Arrests Unveils Bribery Scandal

The CBI has arrested two narcotics inspectors and a nursing home owner in Lucknow for a Rs 10 lakh bribery case. The inspectors allegedly threatened to frame the owner in a false case. CBI acted on reliable sources and recovered the bribe money during the proceedings.

In a significant breakthrough, the CBI has apprehended two inspectors from the Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) in Lucknow, alongside the proprietor of a private nursing home, implicating them in an alleged Rs 10 lakh bribery scheme. The arrests took place on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The inspectors, identified as Mahipal Singh and Ravi Ranjan, allegedly coerced the nursing home owner, Gayasuddin Ahmad, by threatening to frame him in a fabricated legal case. This information came to light following credible alerts about the inspectors' corrupt activities.

Subsequent CBI operations led to the recovery of the bribe money from Ahmad, confirming the bribery allegations. This case underscores ongoing challenges in curbing corruption within official agencies. The investigation continues as authorities probe further into this bribery network.
