Bengaluru: Three Infosys employees arrested for taking Rs 15 lac bribe from taxpayers


Bengaluru, Mar 8 (Agencies): Three persons, all employees of Infosys, have been arrested on charges of taking bribes from taxpayers for speedy processing of their refund, police said on Sunday March 8.

The three employees were attached to the income tax department's centralised processing centre (CPC) in Bengaluru.

The police said that the key accused among the three was attached to the CPC's data division and had demanded and collected money through his friends from some major taxpayers with whom he had contact over phone for processing their I-T refund claims at the earliest.

He would allegedly charge them four per cent of the refund money as his commission, police said.

Recently, one of the taxpayers refused to pay the money and shared the audio recording of his conversation with the accused with income tax officials who held an internal enquiry and then approached the police.

The Electronics City police have registered a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust against them.

The police suspected the trio might have made about Rs 15 lac so far as commission from taxpayers.

    So far Tom, Dick and Harry were blaming (now too) the Govt. employees taking bribe.

    But what about this/ That too Infosys employees those who are paid handsome salary.

    Then whats the difference beetween Govt. employees and these Private employees that too MNCsBribery is deep rooted in all human beings and not just Govt. employees. If proper chancee, scope and opportunity is available all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys grab this. So Govt. employees are made scapegoats.
