On Tuesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court in Aurangabad sentenced former Income Tax Officer Satish Kumar Bhadani to five years in prison and a fine of Rs 1.5 lakh in a bribery case. The charges stem from allegations that Bhadani demanded an undue advantage from a taxpayer in Jalgaon in exchange for not thoroughly scrutinizing their Income Tax Returns and for giving favorable assessment orders.
The CBI registered a case against Bhadani on September 23, 2016, following a complaint from the taxpayer. According to the source, a trap set by the CBI led to Bhadani's arrest while he was accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000 from the complainant. The CBI filed a chargesheet against Bhadani on December 28, 2016, and charges were framed against him on December 20, 2021. After the trial, the court convicted and sentenced Bhadani accordingly.
