Jaipur: A Government doctor has been arrested for taking a bribe of Rs 5,000 in Rajasthan's Nagaur, police said.
Indraram Ranwa, principal medical officer of government hospital in Deedwana had demanded the bribe from the family of a patient to perform an appendix operation, Director General of Anti-Corruption Branch B L Soni said.
After verification of the complaint, a trap was laid and Ranwa was held while accepting the bribe, police said.
He has been booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act, they said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that a Government Doctor had been arrested by the Odisha Vigilance for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 11,000 from a LIC agent to countersign the death insurance claim form of a deceased policyholder, who was under his treatment, which would have otherwise allowed an 8-year-old girl to get the death insurance claim.
"Based on a complaint, a trap was laid wherein the accused Dr Umakanta Khejuria was caught by the team of Odisha Vigilance at a clinic near District Headquarter Hospital, Dhenkanal while demanding and accepting undue advantage (bribe) of Rs.11,000 from the complainant."
