Bhopal, Apr 29 (PTI) Lokayukta sleuths have caught a sub-engineer and another employee of a civic body in Madhya Pradesh’s Raisen district while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh from a private company, an official said.
The duo, posted in the Udaipura Municipal Council, had allegedly demanded Rs 5 lakh from the firm in exchange for releasing its security deposit and issuing a work-experience certificate for a road construction project.
