New Delhi: The CBI will soon announce a reward of Rs one lakh for providing information on IRS officer Santosh Karnani who is absconding since October 4 after his name surfaced in Rs 30 lakh alleged bribery case, officials said.

The central probe agency has also moved a special court seeking a warrant against the officer as he has "not joined the investigation" after four notices from the CBI, they said.

The officer posted as Additional Income Tax Commissioner Class-I in Ahmedabad had allegedly demanded Rs 30 lakh bribe from a builder on October 3 to be channelled through 'Dhara Angadia Firm' in the city. (PTI)
