A shocking incident has been reported from Rajasthan where two Enforcement Directorate officials have been arrested by Rajasthan Anti-corruption Unit (ACB) on Thursday. The two officials have been identified as Naval Kishore Meena, and his associate Babulal Meena. 

According to the sources, both have been detained after they were allegedly ‘caught taking bribe’ of Rs 13 lakh through a middleman. 

According to the complainant, Naval Kishore Meena and Babulal Meena allegedly took the bribe in connection with a Manipur’s chit fund case. ED officers were taking the bribe in return for dismissing the case, not arresting, and seizing the property, according to an official statement by Rajasthan ACB.

However, initially they asked for a bribe of Rs 17 lakh.

The move by Rajasthan ACB has come after several raids have been conducted raids at several places in Rajasthan in connection with the matter.

Naval Kishore Meena was arrested by the Rajasthan ACB after he was trapped by the unit in a case of income disproportion against known source of earnings.
