ACB catches RI accepting Rs 12,000 bribe in Medak Municipal Office

Hyderabad, Mar 11 (UNI) The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials on Tuesday caught red-handed a Revenue Inspector (RI) from the Municipal Office in Medak Town and District while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 12,000.
At around 1 pm, the accused officer, Nakirekanti Janaiah, was caught red-handed while demanding a bribe of Rs 20,000 and accepting Rs 12,000 from the complainant to perform an official favour.
The bribe was intended to facilitate an inquiry on the application of Ms Gelli Shailaja regarding an open plot in Sy. No. 505/1/1/2, measuring 605 square yards, belonging to her brother Srinivas.
The inquiry report was to be submitted to the Municipal Commissioner of Medak Town for mutation purposes, an ACB statement revealed.
The bribe amount of Rs 12,000 was recovered from the possession of the accused officer at the Municipal Office, Medak.
A chemical test confirmed the presence of traces on the accused officer's left-hand fingers and the left front pocket of his pants, both of which had come into contact with the tainted money.
The accused officer was found to have performed his duty improperly and dishonestly to obtain undue advantage.
For security reasons, the complainant's identity has been withheld. The accused officer was being arrested and presented before the First Additional Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases Court in Nampally, Hyderabad.
