Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Vigilance sleuths on Friday apprehended a Gram Rojgar Sevak (GRS) of Machakata gram panchayat under Chhendipada block in Angul district while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 4,000.

The accused, Jadumani Majhi, had demanded the illegal gratification from a Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY) beneficiary for online geotagging of his house completed under the scheme and recommending release of final house completion bill as well as for facilitating bonus in his favour for completion of house under MGNREG scheme within stipulated time, a Vigilance release said.

The entire bribe money has been recovered from Majhi and seized.

While a case has been registered under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018, simultaneous searches are on at two locations of the GRS to ascertain whether he has accumulated assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, the release added.
