Hyderabad: The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday, April 17, arrested a Prohibition and Excise Inspector from Bichkunda mandal of Kamareddy district for allegedly accepting a Rs 2 lakh bribe.
According to the ACB, the accused officer, Deenu Satyanarayana, had demanded the bribe in exchange for not pressurising the complainant to shift toddy shops and to refrain from registering cases against the latter.
An unaccounted amount of Rs 45,760 was also found in the accused’s bag. The officer is being produced before a special court in Nampally. Further investigation is underway.
