The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested a senior official of a public sector oil refinery for accepting a bribe of Rs 20,000 from a contractor.
Malay Kumar Das, posted at Indian Oil Corporation's Barauni Refinery as Human Resources manager, was arrested by an eight-member CBI team headed by senior inspector Ashish Pandey, official sources said.
They said the probe agency had received a complaint from the contractor last month that Das was demanding a bribe for clearing his dues.
A trap was subsequently laid and Das was arrested while accepting the money at a guest house located in the vicinity of the refinery, the sources said.
