Faridabad Anti-Corruption Bureau Arrests Electricity Department Staff for BriberyPreviousNext

The Anti-Corruption Bureau in Faridabad arrested a junior engineer and two linemen from the electricity department for allegedly demanding a bribe to increase an electricity meter's capacity. The accused reportedly sought Rs 11,000 from consumer Dushyant Saini, who paid Rs 3,000 online and was to pay the rest in cash. The consumer reported the case, leading to the arrests during a cash payment attempt. Another employee involved fled, and investigations continue under corruption charges.
