The CBI has filed a case against two top officers formerly with the tax anti-evasion wing of the GST for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs five crore to settle a case probed by them, officials said on Saturday.
The officials -- ex-deputy commissioner service tax anti-evasion in GST Department Sudha Rani Chilaka and department superintendent Sreenivasa Gandhi Bollineni -- posted in Hyderabad had, on April 15, 2019, accepted Rs 10 lakh from a company, Infiniti Metal Products India Ltd, which was facing a probe in tax credit issue, they said.
The arrests were made following a 11-month-long preliminary enquiry during which the probe agency gathered enough prima facie material to proceed against the officials.
