A assistant director of Survey and Land Records and his junior assistant at the Collectorate were caught red-handed by Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) while accepting a bribe of ₹20,000 from a woman.
The incident took place in the district headquarters on Monday.
According to sources, a woman from Nandigama village in Patancheru mandal requested officials to survey her land of 1.29 acres and furnish a report. She made this request in September 2020.
Though officials have reportedly completed the survey, they have not submitted the report and demanded ₹20,000 as bribe.
The woman approached the ACB., which laid a trap and caught both Survey and Land Records Assistant Director Madhusudhan and Junior Assistant Mohd. Asif.
ACB DSP AP Aanand Kumar said that both of them were taken into custody.
