According to officials, CBI arrests bank official for ₹95,000 bribe demand related to a ₹10 lakh loan application. The accused officer allegedly asked for the money to approve the loan under a government scheme.

The accused, identified as Ravi Ranjan Kumar, worked as a regional manager at the State Bank of India branch in Gaya. A loan applicant from Chatni village had applied for a Mudra loan of ₹10 lakh. The officer allegedly demanded ₹95,000 as a commission to clear the loan file.

Frustrated by repeated demands, the applicant filed a complaint with the CBI. After checking the allegation, the agency laid a trap. When the complainant handed over the first installment of ₹40,000, the team immediately arrested the officer.

CBI officials have taken the accused into custody and started questioning him. Investigators are also checking bank documents and earlier loan approvals to see if more irregularities took place.
