03/12/2019, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,NEW DELHI

The CBI, which usually takes up high-profile cases of corruption and financial frauds, has registered an FIR against two postal officials at Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly demanding a ₹100 bribe from a commission agent.

The agency’s Lucknow unit has registered the case on a complaint from the agent’s husband who alleged that superintendent Santosh Kumar Saroj and postal assistant Suraj Mishra had demanded ₹100 as “processing fee” on every ₹20,000 deposit collected as postal savings from villagers.

It was alleged that when the agent’s husband went to deposit ₹99,400 and ₹59,920 on November 25 and 26, the postal official collected from him excess amounts of ₹500 and ₹300.
