Raipur/Kondagaon: Jagdalpur ACB in Chhattisgarh’s Kondagaon district has arrested accountant Arun Sethia while he was accepting a bribe. Sethia demanded Rs 30,000 from disabled teacher Dilip Kumar for a favorable job posting. After Kumar reported the demand to the Anti Corruption Bureau, a team was formed to catch Sethia in the act.

Kumar, who was repeatedly harassed by Sethia for the bribe, felt distressed and decided to file a complaint with the Jagdalpur ACB.

Kumar, selected for the Special Educator program in December, had yet to receive his posting despite numerous visits to the office. During this time, Sethia approached him, insisting on cash for assistance.

Acting on Kumar’s complaint, ACB set a trap and arrested Sethia as he accepted a cash installment of Rs 20,000. ACB officials confirmed the arrest, stating that the investigation is ongoing.
