The CBI told the court that Singal and Kotak had allegedly demanded Rs 45 lakh from pizza chain owner and businessman Sanam Kapoor
Hours after their arrest, a Special CBI Court in Chandigarh on Sunday remanded IRS officer Amit Kumar Singal and his associate Harsh Kotak in 14-day judicial custody in a bribery case involving `45 lakh.
A 2007-batch officer, Singal is currently posted as Additional Director General at the Directorate of Tax Payers Services.
The CBI told the court that Singal and Kotak had allegedly demanded Rs 45 lakh from pizza chain owner and businessman Sanam Kapoor. While Kotak was arrested Saturday, Singal was taken into custody from his Delhi residence Sunday after the CBI obtained necessary authorisation.
In its remand application, the CBI submitted that Singal acknowledged the `45 lakh bribe demand in a phone call with Kapoor and later accepted `25 lakh through Kotak. CBI said the bribe was sought in exchange for favourable treatment after Kapoor allegedly received a retaliatory tax notice in February 2025.
