The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested a supervisor working in the office of the Joint Director of Labor Accounts in Karimnagar for allegedly accepting bribes of ₹14.77 crore over two years from employees and suppliers through online transactions.
The accused officer has been identified as 50-year-old Egala Madhusudhan, a superintendent in the office of the Joint Director of Labor Accounts in Karimnagar.
According to the ACB, Madhusudhan allegedly demanded and accepted illegal gratification from employees and suppliers through UPI transactions in return for showing official favors, including concealment or correction of discrepancies in files pending review and approval.
