PATNA: A vigilance investigation bureau team arrested block supply inspector Shiv Shankar Prasad while he was allegedly accepting Rs 24,000 as bribe in his office in Dhanarua block HQ in Patna on Wednesday.
Vigilance DSP Arun Kumar Singh laid the trap to arrest the supply inspector following a complaint lodged by Luv Prasad who runs a public distribution system shop in Dhanarua block.
His shop was inspected by the supply inspector on November 29 this year after which a bribe of Rs 35,000 was demanded if the shopkeeper did not want the lapses to be reported to the Masaurhi SDO, said vigilance sources.
They said that the supply inspector had finally agreed not to send the report on payment of Rs 24,000.
