Coimbatore: The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) officials on Thursday night arrested an assistant engineer attached to the Tangedco (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation) office at Chinna Thadagam for accepting Rs 55,000 as bribe from a woman to shift an electricity line from her patta land to a nearby place.
The arrested officer, Suresh Babu, 49, of Pannimadai near Thudiyalur, was produced before the special court for DVAC cases on Friday and later remanded in judicial custody.
In April 2021, Jayanthi, 35, of Anaikatti, approached Suresh Babu to shift an electricity line crossing her 1.5 cents of patta land as she was not able to construct a house on the land due to the electricity line. However, Suresh Babu demanded Rs 80,000 as bribe from her.
