Mulugu/ Indian Chronicle::
An officer mercilessly demanded bribe from a fellow employee. When asked to make a bill for his leave allowance, he insisted on giving him a bribe of Rs. 60 thousand. The incident took place at the Zilla Parishad office in Mulugu district headquarters on Tuesday. DSP Sambaiah revealed the details to the media. Gadegoni Sudhakar is working as a superintendent in the Zilla Parishad office in Mulugu. An employee named Venkatesh is working as a junior assistant in the same office. However, an employee who had taken medical leave for a few months had demanded that the superintendent prepare the bills for the medical leave salary due to him and submit them to the STO office. For that, the superintendent demanded that the employee be given Rs. 60,000. He initially said that he would give Rs. 20,000 to the superintendent and an additional Rs. 5,000 to another employee, Soumya. They had reached an agreement that the remaining Rs. 40,000 would be given after the bill was sanctioned. Fed up with being asked for a bribe to prepare the bill for the money he was rightfully owed, the employee Venkatesh approached the Warangal Range ACB officials. On Tuesday, ACB officials caught Superintendent G. Sudhakar red-handed while he was taking a bribe of Rs. 25,000 at the Mulugu ZP office. Along with Sudhakar, the employee Soumya was detained and questioned. They said that they had taken two people into custody after conducting special chemical tests and confirming the bribery, and Rs. 25,000 had been seized from them. DSP Sambaiah said that they would be produced before the ACB court on Wednesday. He said that the employee was arrested for taking bribe from a fellow employee for not doing his job honestly. He said that the investigation is ongoing. If any government employee demands a bribe, he should inform the ACB officials and file a complaint by calling the toll-free number 1064 or 9440446106. He said that the details of the complainants will be kept confidential.
