The CBI had received a tip-off that a bribe of ₹1.5 lakh was being paid to obtain a no objection certificate for Kandoi’s bottling plant
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed a supplementary chargesheet against two more accused in the October, 2017, graft case, in which a bribe was demanded for issuing a no-objection certificate to a bottling plant.
The accused, Dinesh Tiwari and Gyaninder Rai, are both officials of the Central Ground Water Board, Chandigarh.
The case dates back to October 10, 2017, when the CBI had arrested Sanjay Pandey, scientist of the Central Ground Water Board, Chander Parkash Midda, an Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) employee, and Dinesh Kumar, an alleged middleman acting on behalf of Gurugram-based businessman Savraj Kandoi.
The CBI had claimed that it had received a tip-off that a bribe of ₹1.5 lakh was being paid by Kumar to Pandey at Midda’s house in Sector 39B, Chandigarh, to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) for Kandoi’s bottling plant.
CBI chargesheeted two more accused after gathering additional evidence.
