Summary:
This comes as the North MCD continues to grapple with a serious fund crunch leaving many of its employees, including healthcare workers and sanitation workers, unpaid for months on end. The MCD official had then allegedly gone on to demand Rs 4,000 in bribe to enroll the complainant on duty and release his salaries. But even before Pal demanded the Rs 8,000 paid to the complainant in arrears, he allegedly demanded that the complainant hand over his new ATM card as well. Officials said that a case was registered against Pal after the complainant decided to report the matter as he did not want to pay the bribe amount. Accordingly, sleuths from the probe agency laid a trap and caught Pal red-handed accepting the alleged bribe amount of Rs 4,000..
