Discom JE, foreman held for graft
Gurugram, December 13
The Vigilance Bureau today nabbed JE Banshi Lal, foreman Vinod and lineman (outsourced) Pankaj Mishra of DHBVN red-handed while taking Rs 30,000 bribe in lieu of installing a power meter.
A local had moved the VB, saying the trio demanded Rs 50,000 for installing a meter at his plot in Sector 56. They had taken Rs 20,000 from him earlier and were now demanding for the remaining Rs 30,000.
A VB team laid a trap and asked the complainant to call the trio to his plot to collect the money and nabbed them.
“We have booked them under Section 13 (1) B of the Prevention of Corruption Act and will take them on remand after they are produced in a city court,” said Jitender Kumar, spokesperson of VB, Gurugram.
