The bribe was demanded for showing an official favour to process and forward the complainant's application to higher authorities for the sanction of accidental death claim and funeral charges, in connection with the death of the complainant's brother, who was registered as a construction labourer.
The tainted bribe amount of Rs.50,000 was recovered from the possession of Ram Mohan. Both hand fingers of Ram Mohan yielded positive results in the chemical test.
