ADG ACB MN Dinesh stated explained,”We had been obtaining inputs that Rajesh Kumar Singh was carrying refuge from gasoline pump owners instead of providing them different favours linked to their license renewal and additional convictions.
He was carrying the bribes throughout his middleman Kishan Vijay.
On Sundayour staff detained both Singh and Vijay with pay money of Rs 1 lakh each.” Senior officials said other people were detained and ACB teams pioneered hunts at the homes and offices of both Singh and Vijay at Jaipur, Kota, Tonk and Ajmer.

One of the four is just one Kapil Vijay, nephew of all Kishan Vijay, that also followed closely bribe money,” said Sameer Kumar Singh, SP, ACB-Ajmer.
