Nalgonda: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested a Motor Vehicle Inspector (MVI) of Wyra in Khammam district for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 24,000 through an assistant.
The accused, A. Vara Prasad, allegedly sought the bribe from the owner of a brick unit to avoid imposing fines and penalties on his transport vehicles.
According to ACB DSP Ramesh, the amount was received by the MVI’s assistant, Rajasekhar, who later fled the spot with the tainted money. During post-trap proceedings, officials recovered unaccounted cash of Rs 50,200 from the MVI’s car, which was seized.
