SRINAGAR, July 11: Jammu and Kashmir Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) received a written complaint alleging therein that Manzoor Ahmad Bhat, Lineman-II (designated as Meter Reader Panzinara) in the Power Development Department (PDD), Sub Division Pattan Baramulla demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 from the complainant for processing fresh electricity connection to a newly residential house at Panzinara, Shalteng Srinagar.
Since the complainant didn’t want to pay bribe, he approached ACB for taking legal action against the accused public servant under law.
