The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a chief manager from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, on charges of corruption.
The manager allegedly accepted a bribe of Rs 20,000 in Odisha's Sundargarh district. Accusations suggest the manager was facilitating the release of a Rs 11.37 lakh compensation fund connected to land acquisition.
Initial demands by the accused reportedly totaled Rs 30,000, but negotiations with the complainant reduced this to Rs 20,000. A CBI operation led to his arrest at the scene of the bribe.
