The Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Friday arrested Narinder Singh Dhaliwal, Regional Transport Authority (RTA), Ludhiana, for reportedly accepting bribe from transporters.
Acting on basis of a complaint lodged at the Chief Minister’s anti-corruption action line on November 11, 2022, the VB found that Dhaliwal accepted bribe from transporters through some private persons on monthly basis for not issuing challans.
The VB spokesperson said complainant Satnam Singh Dhawan of Mankawal villagehad submitted an online complaint against the RTA along with videos as a proof of Punjab Home Guards (PHG) Bahadar Singh attached with Dhaliwal.
