Cuttack: Vigilance has arrested a laboratory technician of a blood bank in the city for taking bribe to provide blood to a patient.

Following a complaint that the laboratory technician, Kishore Chandra Swain, of the blood bank near the cancer ward of SCB Medical college and hospital was demanding Rs 5,000 as bribe from the complainant to give two units of blood for a patient, the Vigilance set up a trap.

As per the plan, the complainant went to give the bribe to Swain in the laboratory on Monday evening. The Vigilance sleuths, who accompanied Swain, nabbed the technician accepting the bribe money red-handed.
