HYDERABAD: Officials of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday arrested T. Sundupalli Mandal Revenue Inspector B. Sankar Naik in Kadapa district after they ‘caught’ him accepting a bribe of Rs.1,500 from the complainant for doing an official favour.

A press release from ACB said here on Saturday that Naik demanded the amount for recommending to the tahsildar -issue of the property valuation certificate - to the complainant. The officials recovered the tainted cash from him.
