The CBI has arrested two army havildars over alleged bribery charges in the recruitment of multitasking staff (MTS) in the force, officials said.

In a joint operation with the army, the CBI on Tuesday night arrested the havildars who allegedly sought money from selected candidates by telling them that their papers were incomplete, the officials said. It is alleged that the accused, posted at the Ordnance Depot, used to call candidates selected for MTS threatening them that their appointment will be cancelled as their papers are not complete, they said.
