Hyderabad: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday arrested Rajendranagar sub-registrar and document writer for accepting a bribe of Rs 5.5 lakh.

Mir Arshad Ali, sub-registrar, Rajendranagar in Ranga Reddy District was trapped at his office when he accepted the bribe of Rs. five lakh from complainant K. Aravind Mahesh Kumar, a resident of Langerhouse, Hyderabad.
