An employee of a Revenue department was today caught by the Anti-Corruption bureau on charge of accepting bribe from a person in the Bisrampur Circle office of Palamau district, an official said.
The Anti-Corruption bureau officials, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police B B Tirkey laid a trap following a complaint lodged by the victim Kailash Verma, and caught the Revenue department employee Arjun Ram red-handed while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs.6000, Tirkey said.
