Gwalior: The in-charge civil surgeon of Umaria district hospital was nabbed Wednesday for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 20,000 from a Health department staffer for extending an official favour, the Lokayukta Police said.
Dr Ved Prakash Patel had sought money from the complainant, a storekeeper with the Health Department, who wanted to withdraw his resignation, said Lokayukta DSP B K Patel.
