Raipur/Raigarh: The sleuths of Anti -Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted a raid in Chhattisgarh's Raigarh district on Monday and a woman inspector posted in the weighing and measurement department was caught red-handed with a bribe of Rs 8,000 cash.

As per the information received, the accused pressed a demand of Rs 20,000 from a petrol pump owner of Tenda Navapara, Ankit Agarwal for certification of nozzle setting linked with petrol dispenser machine. Later on it was agreed upon to settle the issue for Rs 18,000.

As the inspector continuously pressed demand, he agreed to pay the hush money in two instalments. The petrol pump operator handed her Rs 10,000 as first instalment. When she again pressed demand for a second instalment, this time the operator informed the ACB about her illegal demands and the prosecuting agency laid a trap.
