Sumit Gupta, Pradeep Rana, Ankur Kumar, and Akash Ahlawat -- all sub-inspectors at the CBI's Delhi-based units -- were taken into custody.
The CBI has dismissed its four sub-inspectors allegedly involved in a fake raid on a company in Chandigarh to extort money after arresting them in a corruption case, officials said Thursday.
As part of its zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, CBI Director Subodh Kumar Jaiswal swung into action after the embarrassing episode was brought to his notice and issued directions to dismiss the accused officers from service, they said.
Sumit Gupta, Pradeep Rana, Ankur Kumar, and Akash Ahlawat -- all sub-inspectors at the CBI's Delhi-based units -- were taken into custody by the agency after booking them in the corruption case related to the fake raid, they said.
The matter came to notice after a Chandigarh-based businessman approached the CBI with a complaint that on May 10, six persons, including CBI officials, entered his office and threatened him that he would be arrested for supporting and providing money to terrorists as they have information regarding it.
