An Upper Division Clerk (UDC) of Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) was arrested today by the CBI for allegedly receiving a bribe of Rs 25,000 for converting a flat into freehold.
Ravinder Kumar, a Delhi government employee, was arrested after a case was registered under Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 on the allegations that he allegedly was demanding a bribe of Rs 30,000 from the complainant for processing the case regarding conversion from lease-hold to free-hold his DDA flat at Mata Sundri Road, an official said.
"On negotiations, the bribe was subsequently reduced to Rs 25,000. CBI laid a trap and the accused was caught red-handed while demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000 from the complainant. Searches are being conducted today at the office and residential premises of the accused," CBI spokesperson said here today.
She said the arrested accused will be produced tomorrow in the designated court here.
