Bhubaneswar: Odisha Vigilance officials on Monday apprehended a clerk and a peon of a state government office while taking bribe of Rs 20,000.
Following a complaint by a contractor that Sadasiva Sahoo, senior clerk-cum cashier in the office of SE RW (PH) Division, Bhubaneswar was demanding the bribe for facilitating release of his pending bills towards execution of sanitary works of a government building, the Vigilance set up a trap.
As per the plan, the complainant went to give Rs 20,000 to Sahoo. After receiving the money, the senior clerk handed it over to Pradipta Kishore Dash, a peon of the same office.
Following this, both were nabbed by the Vigilance team. The entire bribe money was recovered and seized from the possession of Dash.
