JALANDHAR:

The accused has been identified as Gursewak Singh, a resident of Jalandhar.

An official spokesperson of the state VB said the arrests were made after a firm owner complained that the CA demanded ₹30 lakh from him on behalf of the CGST assistant commissioner as bribe for benefiting the company in connection with an inquiry being conducted under the CGST Act.

The spokesperson further said that after a preliminary verification of the complaint, a VB flying squad laid a trap during which the CA was arrested red-handed while he was receiving the first installment of ₹10 lakh from the complainant in presence of two official witnesses.
