New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a corruption case against a Storekeeper posted at AIIMS Badsa, Haryana, for allegedly demanding a bribe of ₹27,500 from a private vendor in exchange for approving an amendment request on a Government e-Marketplace (GeM) order.
According to the FIR, the complaint was filed by Gaurav Godara, a Delhi-based businessman associated with Satyawati Facility Services. He alleged that his firm had successfully supplied printed registers to AIIMS Badsa under a GeM purchase order and later submitted an amendment request on the portal.
The complainant stated that when he approached the concerned office regarding approval of the amendment, the accused Storekeeper, identified as Ms. Sakshi, allegedly demanded ₹27,500 for processing and accepting the request. He further claimed that the bribe demand was made through another unidentified person acting as an intermediary.
Following receipt of the complaint dated February 27, 2026, the matter was marked for verification by the Anti-Corruption Branch of the CBI in New Delhi. During the verification exercise, conducted in the presence of an independent witness, investigators reportedly found prima facie evidence supporting the allegation that the accused public servant had misused her official position and sought undue advantage from the vendor.
Based on the findings, the CBI registered a Regular Case under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, along with Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (as amended in 2018), which deals with public servants obtaining illegal gratification.
