The CBI has arrested a joint director of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 70,000 from a private firm’s representative in Hyderabad, officials said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Ramakanth Sagar Muthyala, a Scientist-D with the BIS posted in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, was arrested along with V Lakshminarayana Reddy alias Babu Reddy, a representative of Kronax Engineering and Pressure Vessels Private Limited, after the alleged bribe was exchanged, they said.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that the bribe was paid for giving a BIS approval to the company to manufacture 12,500 cylinders.<\/p>\n
“Searches were conducted by CBI at the residential and official premises of accused public servant at Hyderabad and Vijayawada, which led to recovery of incriminating documents,” a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n
