Nellimarla: A Village Revenue Officer (VRO) was caught by Anti-corruption bureau personnel while accepting a bribe of Rs 5000 for issuing Pattadar pass books to a farmer, on Monday. According to ACB DSP Lakshmipathi, L Appararaju of AT Agraharam village in Nellimarla Mandal had applied to VRO Yesu Babu for pattadar passbooks for his lands.
