Patna, June 10: The Bihar Vigilance Investigation Bureau has been actively conducting raids in corruption cases. In a recent operation, a special team apprehended a Panchayat head in the Dalsingsarai police station area of Samastipur district while he was accepting a bribe of ₹1.20 lakh on Wednesday.
According to the Bureau, Abdul Mannan, a resident of Chak Bahauuddin village, filed a complaint stating that Siyarama Rai, the head of the Raj Chak Bahauuddin Gram Panchayat, was demanding a bribe to lift his suspension.
Abdul Mannan, a former Panchayat teacher at the Mohna Ward Primary School in Sujoli, was suspended a few years ago due to a case. He has since initiated the necessary procedures to resume his teaching position. Following the arrest of the Panchayat head, discussions about local corruption have intensified.
The Bureau verified the complaint and found evidence supporting the claim of bribery. After confirming the allegations, a team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Amrendra Prasad Vidyarthi was formed to take action.
On Wednesday, the accused Panchayat head was arrested near Gudaripul while accepting the bribe from Abdul Mannan at his shop. After interrogation, he will be presented in the special court of the Vigilance Bureau.
In another incident, a team from the Bureau arrested Manish Kumar, a watchman of the Panari Gram Panchayat in the Belaganj police station area of Gaya district, for accepting a bribe of ₹9,000. He allegedly demanded money to remove a name from a case.
