The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested a Joint Commissioner of Income Tax, an income tax officer and a Chartered Accountant and his assistant in a bribery case in Kolkata. The agency has registered a case against the tax officials upon the complaint of the owner of a fisheries business firm, who alleged that they had demanded illegal gratification of ₹25 lakh for providing relief to his firm from paying penalty and additional tax liability. Following the arrests, the agency seized cash worth ₹3.5 lakh, documents pertaining to three immovable properties and 14 bank accounts, from the house of the Joint Commissioner in Mumbai.
