CBI has arrested its own Superintendent of Police, who was heading the Coalgate probe team, and an inspector for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 7 lakh from a businessman outside its headquarters in New Delhi to settle a land dispute.

CBI’s internal vigilance apprehended Inspector Rajesh while receiving the bribe on behalf of SP Vivek Dutt who was Chief Investigator in the coal blocks allocation scam case.

Talking to news agency CBI Director Ranjit Sinha said that the agency would inform the Supreme Court soon about the developments since the apex court had ruled that no official associated with the probe into the scam will be transferred without informing it.
