NEW DELHI: The ministry of home affairs (MHA) has forfeited the "Home Minister's Medal for Excellence in Investigation", awarded to now-dismissed Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inspector in 2023, allegedly after he was caught receiving ₹10 lakh bribe, a gazette notification issued by the ministry said on Tuesday.

According to people aware of the matter, Raj was arrested by CBI on May 18 this year on charges of accepting a bribe of ₹10 lakh from Malay College of Nursing chairman Anil Bhaskaran and his wife Suma Anil in exchange for "favourable inspection reports". He was dismissed from service soon after.
