On Saturday, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested GST Superintendent for allegedly demanding & accepting a bribe from a businessman for issuing a Registration Certificate to his shop in Vijayawada.
The arrested accused has been identified as John Moses, Superintendent of GST.
In the FIR, CBI said that on Dec 10, they received a complaint from G.Nageswara Rao alleging that he is a goldsmith & he intended to get his shop 'Dinesh Jewellery Works' registered with GST.
On Nov 29, he applied for registration of his shop with the GST Department, Vijayawada, with the help of one Sudhir.
On Dec 8, one official from the GST office visited his shop & made him talk to John Moses, Superintendent of GST, over the phone. Then John Moses demanded a bribe of Rs.10,000 for giving the Registration Certificate to his shop. When he expressed his inability to pay the bribe amount of Rs.10,000, the superintendent felt angry & told the GST official to come back. When he called again to the superintendent over the phone, John Moses told to meet him in his office on the next day.
"As he is not willing to pay the bribe, he approached State Anti Corruption Branch official at Vijayawada, who advised him to meet GST Superintendent as he asked. Accordingly, he visited GST Office & met John Moses, Superintendent in his office," mentioned in the FIR.
During negotiations, John Moses, Superintendent reduced the amount & demanded him to pay a bribe of Rs.8,000 on December 10 in his office. Then again he met Ravi Babu, State ACB Inspector, who directed him to approach CBI, Visakhapatnam on point of jurisdiction. CBI team laid a trap & caught GST Superintendent.
A CBI Official stated that "He has been arrested & will be produced before a magistrate".
