Patna: The Vigilance Investigation Bureau (VIB) on Wednesday arrested a Drugs Inspector posted at Sadar Hospital, Arwal, for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000 in exchange for issuing a medicine shop licence.
The inspector, identified as Shailendra Narayan, was caught red-handed by the vigilance team while receiving the bribe. The action followed a complaint by Jitendra Kumar, a resident of Prasadi English, who had applied on July 18 to open a wholesale medical store under the name Muskan Medical Agency. During the licensing process, the Drugs Inspector allegedly demanded Rs 40,000 to clear the application.
