SEEPZ Bribery Case: Man Becomes Approver
There was a big problem at SEEPZ where some officials were accused of taking bribes.
These bribes were for things like giving space to companies and selling goods without paying duties.
The court decided to let one of the accused men help the prosecution instead of punishing him.
This is similar to what happened to another businessman who was also let off and made a witness.
The case was started by the CBI in December 2024 against several people, including two high-ranking officers.
A man accused in the SEEPZ bribery case was granted pardon and made a prosecution witness.
The case involves allegations of bribery by SEEPZ officials for space allotment and duty-free goods sale.
The CBI filed the case in December 2024 against two IRS officers and seven others.
A special court granted the pardon with approval from the CBI.
Another accused, a businessman, was granted pardon last month and made a prosecution witness.
