Mohali, April 13
The Vigilance Bureau today seized Rs. 9 lakh from the Sector 67 house of a GMADA section officer arrested for graft.
The suspect, Devinder Kumar Sharma, was nailed yesterday while accepting a bribe of Rs. 1 lakh at the Phase 8 GMADA office. He was produced in a court today, which sent him to four day police remand.
Officials said they have identified 10 bank accounts in the name of the suspect. VB sleuths said Sharma, who owned a three-storey house and a plot, had transferred Rs. 2.25 lakh and Rs. 2.75 lakh in two different accounts two days before his arrest.
Sharma was arrested after a Phase 10 resident, Nirmal Singh, complained that the GMADA officer was demanding Rs. 1 lakh as a bribe for issuing no-dues certificate for a booth.
A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against him at the Vigilance Bureau police station, Mohali.
