In a significant anti-corruption operation, the Palamu divisional team of the Bureau of Investigation (ACB) has apprehended a senior official red-handed. The arrest took place on Thursday at the Chainpur Anchal office, where Vinod Kumar, a senior clerk also known as ‘Bada Babu’, was caught accepting a bribe of 5,500 rupees. The action was initiated following a complaint from an applicant who was allegedly asked for money in exchange for extracting copies of documents. The ACB investigated the complaint and found it to be substantiated. Subsequently, a trap was set, leading to Kumar’s immediate arrest as he received the illicit payment. This arrest highlights the ongoing efforts to curb corruption within government offices.
