Bhopal: The Lokayukta team has apprehended an executive engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD) in Gwalior for allegedly accepting Rs 15000 bribe on Wednesday. As soon as the PWD engineer spotted the Lokayukta sleuths, he started faking a heart attack to evade the arrest.
Acting on a complaint, the Lokayukta’s office conducted a sting operation and caught Electrical and Mechanical executive engineer P K Gupta red-handed accepting an installment of the bribe of Rs 15,000 for clearing a bill.
The complaint was filed by Mahendra Singh Bais, son of Atar Singh Bais, a resident of Thakur Mohalla Gaus Pura in Gwalior. In the complaint, Bais said that engineer Gupta had asked for Rs 75000 bribe for passing a bill of Rs 3 lakh related to light fitting work carried out at the Collector’s bungalow in November.
