Chandigarh, June 6 Commission agent Aman Sood, dealing in apple crop, had complained to the investigating agency that Darshan Singh had demanded Rs 10,000 from him as bribe. The commission agents are supposed to deposit 2 per cent of the trading amount as market fee with the committee every Friday. Along with the fee amount, a form is also submitted furnishing the details of goods and amount exchanged hands between the commission agent and other parties. Sood, in his complaint lodged with the CBI on September 27, 2007, said he had the liability of Rs 10,000 towards the market committee fee, which was due to be submitted the next day i.e. on September 28. On September 27, Darshan Singh asked Aman to give him a bribe of Rs 10,000 for favouring him in future by collecting less market fee by mentioning less quantity of apple in the forms, alleged Aman in his complaint. On the complaint of Sood, the CBI sleuths nabbed Gurminder from the shop of Aman while accepting Rs 5,000 on behalf of Darshan Singh. Darshan Singh, however, claimed before the court that the money received by the auction recorder was against the market fee pending against the accused.
