The arrest came after Vigilance officers set a successful trap. According to the officers, they recovered the full bribe amount of Rs 6,000 from the accused doctor.
Following the trap, the sleuths conducted searches at four different properties linked to the senior doctor to determine if he possessed disproportionate assets. The authorities are now investigating whether the doctor has accumulated wealth beyond his income sources.
