Hyderabad: Reacting to the alleged demands of a bribe by a government officer, members of the fishing community in Jagtial district garlanded him with currency notes.
In a video that went viral online, fishermen belonging to a collective can be seen trying to garland Damodar, an officer in the fisheries department in Medipalle, who they alleged was pressurising them for bribe to complete their work.
The fishermen even alleged that they had audio recordings of Damodar threatening them.
A user shared a video clip on ‘X’ where fisheries association members can be seen attempting to put a garland made of currency notes on Damodar’s neck. However, he kept moving away from the group inorder to escape the garland.
An investigation into the matter is reportedly underway.
