CBI on
Tuesday arrested J P Singh, the then Joint Director in Enforcement Directorate,
who was facing the agency's probe for allegedly receiving bribe from accused in
IPL cricket-betting scam investigated by him.
Singh, a
2000-batch Indian Revenue Service officer of the Customs and Excise wing, was
being probed by CBI on the basis of a complaint received from the ED.
He has now
moved to his parent cadre as Commissioner, Customs and Excise wing, of Indian
Revenue Service.
Besides
Singh, CBI has also arrested enforcement officer Sanjay and two private
persons-- Vimal Aggarwal and Chandresh Patel.
"It has
been alleged that certain officers of Enforcement Directorate while
investigating the cases of money laundering in betting and other such
activities have allegedly demanded and accepted huge illegal gratification from
the accused and suspect persons in the said cases," a statement from the
CBI had said after registering a case against Singh.
The ED's
Ahmedabad unit was probing the Rs 2,000-crore IPL betting scandal, and the Rs
5,000-crore money laundering case against alleged hawala operator Afroz Fatta,
in which the suspects allegedly sought favours, said sources.
