Delhi court sends I-T Dept officer, CA to 3-day custody for 'sabotaging' faceless assessment scheme

A Delhi court has remanded an income tax deputy commissioner and a chartered accountant to three-day CBI custody following their arrest. They are accused of sabotaging the I-T department's faceless assessment scheme. The CBI alleges the duo solicited bribes from assesses in exchange for favourable orders in pending high-value cases, undermining the scheme's aim to reduce corruption.
