They both stand accused of accepting large bribes.
O Ravi, a Joint Secretary at the Home Ministry, allegedly accepted 25 lakhs from a private distiller to transfer an administrator who was persistent and meticulous about the taxes owed by the distiller.
When his house was being raided, Ravi reportedly rushed to his car and drove past the CBI wagon that was there to investigate him.
Another ministry official, RS Sharma, a director, has been booked for accepting bribes to favour a bulletproof jacket firm.
In July 2009, the Ministry of Home Affairs had floated a tender for the procurement of 59,000 bullet proof jackets. Sharma allegedly sold confidential information to a Noida-based company bidding for the contract. The tender ran into considerable controversy for multiple reasons. The company, Anjani Techno Plast, was not awarded the contract.
