Jammu, Jun 27 (PTI) The Anti-Corruption Bureau on Saturday arrested a government official and booked his senior for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe here, an official said.
The ACB registered a case under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the BNS against Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) Ravinder Krundu, and Senior Assistant, Gurdass, a spokesperson of the ACB said.
While the ACB arrested Gurdass after he was caught red-handed taking a bribe, reportedly on behalf of Krundu — currently posted in the office of the Labour Department as Inspector of Factories and Boilers — he himself was not present in his office at the time of the trap, he said.
The spokesperson said the Krundu had allegedly demanded the bribe of Rs 60,000 from the complainant, which was later settled at Rs 40,000 through his office clerk, Gurdass, for the processing and clearing of his boiler inspection case.
The spokesperson said searches are being conducted at the residential premises of the accused persons. PTI TAS SHS
