Two state government employees and a ration dealer were today arrested in Bhilwara for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 3 lakh from a flour mill owner, anti-corruption bureau sources said.
District supply officer Naveen Yadav, supply inspector Kuldeep Tiwari and ration dealer Hari Kishan were nabbed for demanding a bribe from the mill owner, who supplied flour to fair price shops, to make a favourable report for flour in his shop, the sources said.
Yadav and Tiwari had conducted a sudden inspection of the flour mill firm recently and told its owner that the quality of the flour was poor, they said.
"They demanded a bribe of Rs 4 lakh to make a favourable report. After verification, a trap was laid to nab the officers," they said.
"Today, the Supply officer called the complainant near Gulabpura Chaura and asked him to hand over the bribe amount of Rs 3 lakh to a ration dealer Hari Kishan for counting," they said.
"The ACB team caught both of them and later the DSO was also held in Bhilwara. They all were placed under arrest," they said.
