The CBI move followed after the agency tumbled on a corruption operation. It is said that more senior officers of the army could be involved in the racket.

According to reports, Lt Col Ranganathan Suvramani Moni, an officer in the Personnel Department at the Army Headquarters, was arrested after allegedly receiving a part of Rs five  lakh bribe for the transfer of Bengaluru-based army officer S Subhas.

The deal is said to have been brokered by a civilian Gaurav Kohli and another army officer Purushottam, both of whom are named in the CBI first-investigation report, the report said. 

The Lt Col is also accused of being involved in efforts to manipulate the posting of Hyderabad-based officer DSRK Reddy.
