Sleuths of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday caught AP-Transco lineman, Allu Tataji of Shankavaram sub-station in Kakinada district, while he was allegedly accepting ₹5,000 as bribe.
The lineman reportedly took ₹4,500 for issuing connection to a borewell on a parcel of land owned by complainant S. Srinu. When Tataji demanded bribe for issuing connection to another borewell, Mr. Srinu complained at ‘Call Centre 14400’, the ACB officials said in a release.
Subsequently, the Rajamahendravaram ACB laid a trap and caught the lineman while he was accepting ₹5,000 as bribe. He would be produced before the ACB Special Court, the ACB said.
