Two ED Officers Arrested for Taking Bribe

Jaipur: Rajasthan anti-corruption bureau (ACB) arrested two Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers for allegedly taking bribes. The two ED officers allegedly demanded and took Rs 15 lakh to stop a case from being filed in a chit-fund matter.

The Rajasthan anti-corruption bureau (ACB) in a statement stated that the two ED officers were nabbed while they were accepting the bribe money.

“A team of the ACB caught the two ED inspectors accepting Rs 15 lakh. The ACB is searching the premises of the ED inspectors,” the anti-corruption body in Rajasthan said.

On October 30, the ED interrogated Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s son Vaibhav for nine hours in a case of alleged violation of foreign exchange rules.

Gehlot slammed it as a political vendetta and said, “Central agencies have no credibility now. It is a worrying situation. This is not about my son or the state Congress president. Aatank macha rakha hai desh mein (they have spread terror in the country).”
