Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau on Wednesday caught a junior assistant red-handed while accepting a ₹10,000 bribe at the Deputy Educational Office in Bandlaguda, Hyderabad.
Officials identified the accused as Shiva Prasad junior assistant. He allegedly demanded the bribe from a complainant in exchange for removing the complainant’s school from the SSC Board examination centre list.
According to the ACB, Shiva Prasad acted dishonestly and misused his official position to gain undue advantage. The agency recovered the tainted cash from his possession during the trap operation.
The officer was arrested and produced before the Special ACB Court in Nampally. An investigation is in progress. Authorities have withheld the complainant’s identity for security reasons.
