Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) sleuths on Friday arrested Rajagada-based Bank of India assistant branch manager Bibhuti Bhusan Kharra while he was taking bribe of Rs 7,000 from Dillip Mohanty, a resident of Andhuli village, to provide him a power tiller under agriculture loan scheme, said official sources.
The CBI sleuths caught him red-handed. According to DSP of Vigilance Annanta Narayan Mohanty, a petition in this regard had been received at the office a week back, but as the official belonged to Central Government agency so the matter was intimated to the CBI. Kharra was later produced before the Special Judge Vigilance Court, said Vigilance Inspector BP Patnaik.
