Panchayat official caught taking bribe
Patna: The Vigilance Investigation Bureau (VIB) team in Patna on Thursday caught amin Niranjan Kumar while he was accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh. Kumar, posted in Daula panchayat of Sadar block in Kishanganj, had allegedly demanded money to expedite a land compensation process. The complainant, Md Najmer Alam, said his land had been acquired for a dam construction project. "To process the compensation, Amin Niranjan Kumar repeatedly demanded money. He told me, 'You won't get compensation until you pay a bribe,'" Alam alleged. As the matter escalated, Alam and several villagers lodged a formal complaint with the VIB. Following this, a trap was laid. "According to the plan, as soon as Amin accepted the Rs 1 lakh bribe near the bus stand, the team caught him red-handed," said Sanjay Kumar, DSP, VIB.
