New Delhi: The CBI on Thursday arrested two persons, including a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) official, for allegedly offering bribe of Rs two crore to a senior CBI officer to clear a preliminary enquiry involving a public sector undertaking, officials said.
Dheeraj Kumar Singh, posted in Police-I division of the ministry, allegedly made an offer of Rs two crore to the DIG-ranked officer of the CBI to manage a preliminary enquiry involving a public sector undertaking and a private company.
The DIG apprised his seniors and filed a complaint regarding the offer made to him, they said.
During the monitored negotiations, it was agreed that a payment of Rs 16 lakh would be made on Thursday, they said.
The agency laid a trap and arrested Singh and a private person, identified as Dinesh Chand Gupta, with the alleged bribe money of Rs 16 lakh from their possession when they came to make the payment, they said.
Following the arrest in the early morning, the agency carried out searches at the residence of Singh and Gupta which resulted in the recovery of incriminating documents, they said.

It appears without room for any doubt that CBI had been functioning as a corrupted organisation. This would not have been possible
if there were regular and periodic deterrent actions against those corrupt people at the helm of affairs. Since they were also indulging in corrupted practices it would have been very difficult for honest people in this agency to have survived.No wonder why high value economic crimes went undeterred and people were emboldened to carry out economic crime of any high value mindless of the law enforcing agency because either of lethargy or of willing for private profit or Under the instructions of higherups. In anycase it has been spoiled and the reputation is,at its lowest ebb.Modi has now entered the scene. We have to waitvand see because the appointees would still have deep gratitude to khangress and their favorite babus.We people all shooting without knowing the ground realities in CBI that BJPcould not deliver results
Great Job
