Sleuths of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday caught the manager of TSRTC Huzurabad depot while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹20,000 from a TSRTC driver for doing an official favour, at Elkaturthy in Hanamkonda district.
According to ACB sources, the manager, Samala Srikanth, had earlier demanded and received an initial payment of ₹10,000 from the complainant, T. Ravinder, in April to drop the charges against him relating to unauthorised absence and irregular attendance.
Acting on a complaint by Mr. Ravinder, the ACB laid a trap and caught Mr. Srikanth while he was receiving ₹20,000, a part of the bribe, the sources said. A case has been registered and further investigation is under way.
