New Delhi, Mar 11 (PTI) The CBI has arrested an NDMC employee and a middleman for allegedly receiving bribes for ensuring appointments to posts of Assistant Sanitary Inspector and Sanitary Inspector in the civic body responsible for the upkeep of several VIP areas of the national capital, officials said Tuesday.
The agency had received complaints that Puran, a sweeper in NDMC, sought a bribe of Rs 6 lakh for getting the three complainants and one more person appointed to the post of Assistant Sanitary Inspector and Sanitary Inspector in NDMC.
The CBI found that Rs 50,000 were collected earlier as part of the bribe amount, they said.
