A junior clerk of the mines
and mineral department in Surendranagar district was caught taking Rs 10,000 as
a bribe to furnish details under the Right to Information Act (RTI) on Monday.
Amrut alias Anand Kehrabhai, a class three officer, sought a bribe from the complainant who wanted reasons for the delay in the lease for silica sand. The application remained unprocessed for a long time.
After filing an RTI application to obtain the required details, the complainant received incomplete information from the office. Subsequently, Amrut demanded Rs 10,000 to provide the remaining details. The complainant, refusing to comply with the unlawful demand, approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which laid a trap and caught him outside the department's entrance.
