Hyderabad: The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Tuesday, September 8, caught a deputy executive engineer of the Quality Control Cell, Musheerabad Division, red-handed while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 from a complainant.
According to the ACB, the accused officer, Sai Ram, demanded and accepted the bribe in return for extending an official favour to the complainant.

The ACB said the officer had improperly and dishonestly performed his official duty to obtain an undue advantage.
