Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 20 (ANI): The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested two sanitary field assistants of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), for demanding and accepting a bribe, the ACB said in a release on Wednesday.
According to the release, the arrested AO-1, Md. Saleem Khan demanded Rs 60,000 and accepted a bribe of Rs 25,000 for showing official favour, i.e., "not to impose a fine on the coffee shop of the complainant." The bribe was demanded from the complainant through AO-2 G Ramesh.
