Haryana’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested an IAS officer, Jaibir Singh, for allegedly demanding a bribe to sanction a transfer, an official spokesperson said on Thursday.
Singh, who is posted as the managing director of the Haryana State Warehousing Corporation, is the second bureaucrat to be arrested in a corruption case in two days.
IAS officer Vijay Dahiya was arrested by the ACB in connection with a corruption case on Tuesday.
A complaint was received that Singh had demanded a bribe of Rs 3 lakh from the complainant for sanctioning a transfer. The ACB arrested Singh on Wednesday after a middleman allegedly accepted the bribe on his behalf, an ACB spokesperson said.
The middleman, a private individual, was also arrested from Panchkula, he said.
A case has been registered against Singh, the private person and two others at Panchkula ACB police station, the spokesperson said.
