Kotahgudem: Sleuths of the Anti-corruption Bureau arrested an assistant executive engineer of the irrigation department on 6 July after he was caught red-handed demanding and accepting bribe.

The cash was recovered from Naveen Kumar and he was arrested and produced before the ACB court in Hyderabad. The police have started an investigation into the case.
