The CBI has arrested an Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) of National Law Tribunal (NCLT) Mumbai and two private persons, including a proprietor of Mumbai based firm in a bribery case of Rs 20 lakh in Pune.
The agency has taken into custody NCLT interim resolution professional (IRP) Subrata Maity, Ashish Somani, who works for Navi Mumbai-based RJ Jewellers, and its proprietor Ruchit Tanka for allegedly demanding Rs 20 lakh for settling a pending NCLT
matter.
“A case was registered on complaint against an Interim Resolution Professional (IRP), National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai and unknown others on the allegations of demanding undue advantage of Rs.20 lakh for settling the NCLT matter of Complainant’s company,” the CBI said in a
statement.
It was further alleged that the accused demanded initial part payment of Rs 2 lakh, out of the total demand of Rs 20 lakh from the complainant and told him that a private person would come to collect the said amount at Pune.
The CBI laid a trap and caught the said private person while accepting the initial part payment of Rs 2 lakh from the Complainant.
Later, the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) and the Proprietor/Jeweller of Mumbai whose alleged role came in the case were also caught.
Searches were conducted at the premises of the accused at Pune, Navi Mumbai which led to recovery of incriminating documents. All the three arrested accused are being produced in the Court of Special Judge, CBI Cases, Pune.
