The Chief Post-Master General of Maharashtra and Goa was today arrested for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 2 crore to transfer government land meant for post offices to private parties. The CBI has called it the biggest catch in the last 60 years.
Manjit Singh Bali was apprehended by the anti-corruption wing of the investigative agency, officials said.
Bali, a 1978 batch civil services officer, is among the top 10 senior officers of the country.
Bali was caught accepting the bribe at one of south Mumbai's top restaurants. He allegedly demanded 1.5 crore for himself and Rs 50 lakhs for a middleman.
The CBI said a former municipal corporator helped them lay the trap.
The Enforcement Directorate has been intimated as the cash Bali had was above the permissible limit.
