On this cashier paid balance amount of Rs 10,000 retained by him and the complainant thereafter paid the bribe amount Rs 10,000 to the cashier who accepted it in presence of accused accountant and kept the same in drawer of his office table. In the meanwhile shadow witness gave a signal, on receiving the signal the members of the trap team rushed to the spot and tainted amount of Rs 10,000 was recovered from the drawer of office table of accused cashier Rakesh Kumar Mehra.
