Indore: The Lokayukta police in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district have registered a case against a medical officer at a community health centre for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000 in exchange for releasing the post-mortem report of a drowning victim.
According to the PTI report, Deputy Superintendent of Police Praveen Singh Baghel identified the accused as Dr Arpit Kumar Nayak (29), a medical officer at a community health centre.
The operation was initiated after a complaint from 42-year-old Dinesh Makwana, a resident of Kallipura village. Makwana alleged that Dr Arpit Kumar Nayak, a 29-year-old medical officer, had demanded a bribe of Rs 50,000 in return for releasing the post-mortem report.
