The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Superintendent of CGST, Amroha, and a tax advocate for allegedly accepting an illegal gratification of ₹1 lakh. This amount was reportedly the first installment of a ₹4 lakh demand made to the complainant. A case was registered on June 9, 2025, based on a complaint alleging that the CGST Superintendent had issued a penalty notice to the complainant’s family company for non-filing of GST returns. Both accused are alleged to have demanded ₹4 lakh to waive this penalty. The Superintendent held additional charge of CGST, Amroha, while being posted at Gajrola. The tax advocate, representing the complainant, is accused of conspiring with the Superintendent to pressure the complainant into delivering the bribe. The CBI set up a trap and apprehended both individuals during the alleged exchange. Searches are currently underway at the accused’s premises in Amroha and Gajrola, Uttar Pradesh, as the investigation continues.
