Armoor Revenue Divisional Officer Baley Srinivas was arrested by Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials on Tuesday after he allegedly received ₹40,000 bribe from local water treatment plant owners.
“Earlier, the RDO seized some water treatment plants in Armoor on the ground that they failed to comply with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS),” Mr. Ramana Kumar said. The RDO allegedly demanded ₹ 40,000 bribe when owners of the plants met him seeking permission to operate their units. They then approached the ACB in Hyderabad.
