The chemist had supplied medicines and equipment to AIIMS. However, the Director was allegedly demanding a bribe against approving a bill of Rs 40 lakhs.
As per various media accounts, the Director had demanded Rs 2 lakh from the medicine supplier but the deal was finalized at Rs 1 lakh. He was allegedly causing an undue delay in sanctioning it while pressing for the bribe. Following this, a complaint was moved by the pharmacist with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the CBI.
He alleged that the Director was not approving the bills. He was demanding 10% of the total bill amount as a bribe. After initial verification, a trap was laid and the complainant was sent with colour laced currencies.
On Saturday, the CBI arrested the Deputy Director of AIIMS red-handed. The arrested accused was produced before the designated court in Bhopal and remanded to police custody till October 1.
