The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Vinay Kumar Kantheti, an IRS officer serving as Additional Commissioner of Central Goods and Services Tax in Raigad, and Rakesh Kumar Sinha, a Superintendent of CGST in Khandeshwar, Raigad, in a bribery case. The investigation centered on allegations that Sinha demanded an undue advantage of Rs 1.50 crore to settle a GST and royalty matter for a stone-quarrying firm. The CBI subsequently apprehended Narinder Rajput, a private person and Customs House Agent, while he allegedly accepted Rs 40 lakh on behalf of the accused officials. All three individuals were arrested and presented before the Special CBI Court in Thane.
