Kanive, Sep. 11: The Lokayukta has fallen into the trap of the executive engineer of the Harangi Dam Division of the Cauvery Irrigation Corporation in Kushalnagar while accepting a bribe from a contractor.
Lokayukta officials raided and arrested R. Krishna of Hunsur, a second-class resident, while he was accepting a bribe from Prasannakumar, an electricity contractor in Kushalnagar.
Details of the incident
Even after a year had passed since the completion of the work of removing old electricity poles on the banks of the Cauvery river in Kuvempu Layout of Mullusoge, Kushalnagar, at a cost of one and a half lakh, the officials of the irrigation corporation were delaying in issuing the work bill. For this, it is said that they had demanded a bribe of Rs. 30 thousand.
Later, contractor Prasanna Kumar went to the Madikeri Lokayukta office on Thursday afternoon and filed a written complaint.
