Pharmacist Hartinderjit Singh was arrested when he was taking the bribe from Dalam village resident Jaswant Singh, DSP Pradeep Malik said.
The pharmacist and other staff members of the hospital had allegedly demanded Rs 30,000 for issuing a Medico Legal Report to Jaswant, who was injured in a clash with his neighbours yesterday.
Later the deal was finalised at Rs 15,000.
On the complaint made by Jaswant, the SVB laid a trap to arrest the pharmacist and the other hospital staff allegedly involved in taking the bribe.
According to the complaint, Jaswant paid Rs 5,000 to the pharmacist yesterday and had to clear the remaining amount today.
Though the pharmacist was arrested, others allegedly involved in the matter managed to escape, Malik added.
A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered in this connection against the accused.
