As per reports, Bansal, along with a Delhi-based middle man Vishwadeep Bansal, was nabbed from a hotel while bribe was allegedly being exchanged for showing favours to a private firm.

The reports also suggested that the investigating agency, during its searches at eight locations in connection with the case, had claimed to have recovered over Rs. 56 lakh from Bansal, while Rs. 16 lakh were recovered from Vishwadeep.
