Kurnool: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) sleuths have trapped a bill collector of Kurnool Municipal Corporation while accepting a bribe of Rs.5000 for sanctioning a tap connection.
ACB DSP T Jaya Rama Raju has said that the bill collector S Sudhakar is working at Revenue Section in Kurnool Municipal Corporation. He had reportedly demanded Rs5,000 for giving tap connection to Sri Sai Vidya Niketan situated near Ayyyappa Swamy temple in the city.
