Hyderabad, April 23 -- The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Kondaiah, an assistant engineer (operations) working with Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL), under the charges of demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000.

The case took place in Ganpur Mandal, Wanaparthy, where the bribe was demanded from a complainant by Kondaiah to enable power supply connection to a Distribution Transformer (DTR) at an agro-industrial unit.

On a tip-off, the Telangana ACB launched a sting operation and caught Kondaiah red-handed while taking the bribe amount. The ACB has filed a case against the official, and a further probe is on to find out whether similar malpractices were carried out in the past.
