An Income Tax officer and a chartered accountant (CA) were arrested on Wednesday by the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Mumbai for demanding and accepting a bribe. The officer, Ranjan Prakash, and the CA, Vimal Patangia, were nabbed when the latter was accepting the bribe on behalf of the I-T officer. Officers also found Rs 24. 39 lakh from the CA's office and residence. CBI-ACB officers said they received a complaint that a person had been asked to pay a bribe of Rs 1.5 lakh to Prakash and that he had to route it through Patangia to get a favourable order regarding a file that was pending with the I-T officer. “The complainant was asked to pay the bribe through Patangia. He registered a complaint with us on October 11. A trap was laid and we nabbed Patangia red-handed. We also arrested Prakash as he was the one for whom the money was being asked," said an officer.
