The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested four people for allegedly running a racket by promising seats in Rajya Sabha and other government organisations for Rs 100 crore.
The CBI also conducted raids at seven locations in Delhi, Karnataka and Maharashtra which led them to the recovery of incriminating documents. Soon after their arrests, all the four accused moved a bail plea which released them on bail.
The CBI had been intercepting a few calls which led them to bust the racket. They were cheating people on the pretext of offering them Rajya Sabha seat, governorship, or appointment as chairperson of government organisations, ministries and departments.
