The sessions court here today granted bail to two Public Works Department officials, facing bribery charges, on personal bonds of Rs 50 lakh each.
Judge K K Tantrapale directed that both the accused should report at the Anti-Corruption Bureau office from Monday to Saturday next week between 10 am and 6 pm. Executive Engineer Satish M Chikhalikar and Branch Manager Jagdish M Wagh were caught red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 22,000 from a contractor here on April 30. They had sought bribe for clearing bills. Searches at Chikhalikar's house revealed he had amassed over Rs 14.66 crore wealth, while Wagh was found to be in possession of assets worth over Rs 2.85 crore.
