Raghuvanshi, a 2013-batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), was allegedly caught red-handed during the operation. He was subsequently taken into custody and arrested after being questioned by investigators.

The CBI has not disclosed further details about the businessman or the nature of the case being influenced by the alleged bribe. The investigation is ongoing.
