Telangana ACB Traps Huzurabad Municipal Engineer Over Rs 50,000 Bribe

The arrest points to bribery risks in final billing for local works.

Overview

  • ACB officers in Huzurabad arrested assistant engineer Nusum Sudhakar Reddy on Wednesday after he accepted Rs 50,000 at the RTC Depot Chowrastha.
  • Investigators say he sought the payment to record Measurement Book entries and clear the final bill for a storm-water drain job.
  • After a contractor reported the demand, ACB officers set up a trap and recovered the marked cash on arrest.
  • Officials withheld the complainant’s identity for security reasons.
  • The Measurement Book logs work done on public projects, so control over these entries can delay payments and create chances for bribe demands.
