The special court of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has dismissed the discharge application moved by senior IAS officer Paramjit Singh, posted as director in Punjab Roadways, in a graft case.
The CBI had arrested Singh in January 2022 in Chandigarh for allegedly taking a bribe of ₹2 lakh for recommending the name of an officer for promotion, officials said.
The CBI had caught the official red-handed while accepting the bribe.
According to the CBI, the complainant was due for promotion to the rank of general manager, for which a departmental promotion committee was constituted in January 2022 and Singh was part of it.
It was alleged that the accused demanded a bribe of ₹5 lakh from the complainant for recommending his name to principal secretary, transport, for promotion to the rank of general manager. The deal was struck at ₹2 lakh, the CBI said.
