Acting on a tip-off, police laid a trap and arrested Rajesh Pradhan, posted as an assistant veterinary surgeon at Sanawad, accepting a bribe of Rs 200, Lokayukta sources said.
The complainant Sevakram had applied for a loan for the construction of a shade for domestic animals for which he had to submit a physical verification certificate to be given by the veterinary doctor.
For issuing the certificate Pradhan allegedly demanded Rs 200 from Sevakram following which he informed Lokayukta police about it.
