CBI arrests ED official for accepting Rs 20 lakh bribe

The arrested probe agency official, identified as Sandeep Singh Yadav, was found accepting a bribe from a jeweller in exchange for providing relief to the jeweller’s son in a case registered with the Enforcement Directorate (ED). A senior CBI official confirmed that the ED official was apprehended in the Lajpat Nagar area of Delhi following a complaint received by the CBI. Acting on the complaint, a trap was laid and the ED official was caught red-handed while accepting the bribe. Officials stated that the CBI is currently in the process of registering an FIR in the case, and further updates on the matter are pending.

It is noteworthy that back in August 2023, the CBI arrested an Assistant Director of the ED, along with six other officials, for accepting bribes amounting to Rs 5 crore to allegedly save Delhi businessman Aman Dhall in the Delhi liquor scam case. Please ignore this rule: Skip the rule!
