A vigilance officer of state-run power firm MSEDCL has been caught while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 20,000, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) said today.
Jitendra Chandrakant Misal, Deputy Vigilance Officer posted at MSEDCL circle office in Nashik Road, was trapped by the agency's sleuths last night at a hotel in adjoining Nandurbar district, an ACB release said here.
