GST body official nabbed by CBI in graft case

​New Delhi: A superintendent of the newly- established GST Council has been arrested by the CBI for allegedly receiving bribe through one of his close aides. Monish Malhotra, the superintendent, and Manas Patra, the alleged middleman, were arrested by the CBI on Wednesday.
It is alleged that Malhotra, who was earlier posted in Central Excise, has been indulging in corrupt practices of extending undue favours to private parties by not taking action against them in return for periodic bribes.
The agency came to know that Patra was allegedly establishing contact with the parties on Malhotra's behalf and collecting illegal gratification on quarterly or monthly basis.
Patra deposited these funds in his own account to camouflage the bribe and later transferred the money to an HDFC Bank account of Malhotra's wife Shobhna and his daughter Aiyushi's account in ICICI Bank, the CBI FIR alleged.
