The Junior Engineer Arvind Hembram, who was posted at Sadar Block in Zilla Parishad's MANREGA section, was allegedly accepting Rs.20,000 from a contractor to enter the PCC road construction work done when a six-member team of the vigilance department led by Deputy Superintendent of Police (Vig) Awadesh Kumar arrested him, sources said.
A villager Ghanshyam Purty had complained to the vigilance department about the demand made by Hembram from the contractor Ganesh Purty and the vigilance officials accordingly laid a trap.
