Rajamahendravaram : A sub-engineer at Maredubaka Electrical sub-station in Mandapet mandal of East Godavari district was caught red-handed by the ACB officials while accepting bribe of Rs 70,000 here on Friday.
According to Additional SP Ch Sowjanya, Mullapudi Srinivasa Rao of Dulla village approached the electricity authorities for digging a bore well at his Uncle Mutyala Gopalakrishna’s farm.
In this regard, Sub-Engineer Prasad asked bribe of Rs 70,000 to make an estimate and process the application. As no bribe was given, the estimation slip was not given even after months.
