Khanapur: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials arrested Bhainsa Municipality in-charge Commissioner Jadhav Santosh on Tuesday evening after catching him accepting a Rs50,000 bribe in Nirmal town.
Santosh, who was serving as a Deputy Engineer in Bainsa, had been entrusted with additional charge as Municipal Commissioner in the absence of a regular commissioner.
According to ACB officials, he allegedly demanded Rs50,000 from a contractor for clearing bills related to development works undertaken in Bainsa. Following a complaint from the contractor, ACB officials laid a trap.
The contractor reportedly handed over the money near Kubera Hotel at MancherialChowrasta in Nirmal district headquarters, where officials caught Santosh red-handed while accepting the alleged bribe.
Adilabad ACB DSP Madhu confirmed that a case had been registered and an investigation was underway under his supervision.
