Surat: Anti-corruption officials on Monday nabbed a stenographer of the Income Tax department from Income Tax Bhavan in Adajan for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 2,500.

The accused is Tejvir Genda Singh, who is a class III staffer.  The complainant had accidentally paid Rs 17,750 as TDS and had applied for a refund online on April 5, but his request was not processed.
