CGST inspector arrested by ACB

Ahmedabad’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested a Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Inspector Ghanshyam Dholpuriya for accepting a bribe of ₹10,000 on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.

The case was filed by a housekeeping agency owner, whose bank account was frozen due to unpaid service taxes. To unfreeze the account, CGST Inspector Dholpuriya allegedly demanded a bribe, which led the complainant to approach the ACB. A trap was set, and Dholpuriya was caught in the act of accepting the bribe.

The complainant, a Chandkheda resident, owns a housekeeping service agency under his mother’s name.

It was discovered that the firm had not paid service tax for the years 2014 to 2017, and as a result, a notice was issued. Following this, the agency’s bank account was also frozen.

When the complainant sought to unfreeze the account, Dholpuriya allegedly demanded a bribe of ₹10,000 in exchange for providing the necessary clearance.

The complainant subsequently reported the matter to the ACB, which set up a covert operation near the Chandkheda AMTS bus stop, leading to Dholpuriya’s arrest while accepting the bribe.

Following the arrest, the ACB has launched further investigations into the matter.
