The Vigilance police on Thursday arrested a Junior Clerk posted at the office of Executive Engineer of RD Division, Kandhamal, for allegedly demanding and accepting bribe.
Official sources said that Amulya Kumar Sahu had demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 from one Shankarsan Satapathy to process his file for release of his pending pension benefits. With no option, the complainant brought the matter to the notice of the Vigilance authorities. Later, Vigilance sleuths laid a trap and caught Sahu red-handed at his office.
The Vigilance officials also seized the bribe money from the accused. Besides, a case was also registered by the Berhampur Vigilance in this connection.
