A team of the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (SV&ACB) has arrested a manager posted at the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) office at Bahadurgarh for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000.
A case has been registered against the accused under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, at the Rohtak police station.
Manju, a resident of Kacha Bagh in her complaint to the ACB, said her husband Rohtash worked in a factory and got injured two years ago. He was entitled to receive Rs 2.50 lakh as disability assistance under a government scheme.
She alleged that Kuldeep Kumar, manager at the ESIC office, Bahadurgarh, demanded a bribe of Rs 40,000 for facilitating the release of the amount. After verifying the complaint, the Anti-Corruption Bureau laid a trap and apprehended the accused red-handed while accepting the bribe amount of Rs 40,000 from the complainant.
