Transport corporation manager held for accepting bribe in Raj

A manager of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) was today arrested by sleuths of the Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2,000 from a driver on the promise of putting him on duty on a particular route.
Bus driver Shiv Dayal Singh filed a complaint that Bhagwat Singh Mehta, Manager-Operation posted at Dungarpur depot, has demanded a bribe of Rs 2,000 on the promise of putting him on duty on Dungarpur-Ahmedabad route, an ACB spokesperson said.
Mehta also warned Shiv that if he did not pay, his duty would be shifted to other routes, she said.

"Mehta used to take bribe of Rs 1,000 from every driver for fixing duty on specific routes," Shiv told the sleuths, she said.
ACB organised a trap and caught Mehta red-handed while accepting the bribe from the driver, she said, adding that he was booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Sleuths also raided Mehta's house and found undeclared cash of Rs 44,740 and a bunch of slips concerning drivers' duty, the spokesperson said.
