The others arrested are Gajendran, senior accounts officer; S Sivalingam, assistant, Tiruvannamalai PWD; and LS Raja, PWD staff, Tiruvallur.Â
CBI said Goyal demanded a bribe from Sivalingam through Gajendran for posting him as divisional accountant in PWD, Villupuram. Raja allegedly brokered the deal. CBI searched their residences in the city and Goyal’s house in Rajasthan and seized documents.Â
Interestingly, Goyal was engaged in a tussle with the employees of the Accountant General’s office last year after he decided to seal the 60-year-old Employees Cooperative Credit Society. He had refused to allow recovery of loan from the employees’ monthly salary.
