Srinagar, Mar 19 (CNS) : An Executive Engineer was caught red handed in North Kashmir's Kupwara District for accepting bribe by Vigilance Organization on Tuesday. Executive Engineer has been arrested while a case has been registered against him.
According to reports Vigilance Organisation caught red-handed Executive Engineer of R&B Kupwara Division, Mohammad Shafi Bhat, while accepting a bribe of Rs 5000 in lieu of passing contract bills. Reports said that a contractor Gulzar Ahmed from Rashanpora, Kupwara lodged a complaint alleging that Executive Engineer R&B Division Kupwara was forcing him to pay the bribe for passing his pending bills.
The sleuths of vigilance laid a successful trap during which the accused Executive Engineer was caught red-handed while accepting the bribe from the complainant in Kupwara's R&B office. The tainted money was recovered from his possession in presence of independent witnesses and the hand wash was taken which tested positive. Vigilance team also took some important documents in its possession. An FIR 6/2013 was filed and the said Executive Engineer was sent to jail. Meanwhile, dozens of contractors in Kupwara held demos against this action of Vigilance and claimed that said Executive Engineer had become the prey of personal rivalry. "He is a nice person and we do believe a trap was laid for him to get his image tarnished," said a contractor. The protesters were later on dispersed by the police.
